Shohei Ohtani's Dodgers deal sparks excitement and debate
Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' newest player, has included a "key man" clause in his 10-year contract, ensuring that the team's CEO, Mark Walter, and president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, remain with the organization for as long as he's there. If either Walter or Friedman leaves their current roles, Ohtani has the option to opt out of his contract. This clause demonstrates Ohtani's desire for stability and alignment within the organization, as he believes that having these key power brokers in place is crucial for a winning team.
