If Ohtani leaves, I don't think it'll be on the owner. I'd bet that the Angels offer more than whatever he ends up taking. He's worth so much money to them both on and off the field. I went to a game there earlier this year and noticed that something like 80% of their sponsors are Japanese companies.
You can't really blame the owner if he just takes less money to go somewhere else. Also, how much do we think this deal will be? My guess is 10 years, $500 million.

Yeah. I went to a game there this year as well. The woman sitting next to me has had seasons the last couple of years, and was wearing a Hawaiian shirt where Ohtani's face was pre-printed into the pattern. She talked about him the whole game. (In fairness he was pitching as well)
They're 100% losing STH if they don't sign him. Maybe not $60MM/year worth but it'd be something. And they'll need another starting pitcher and a DH if he leaves so that will cost something.
