It said that with the deferrals in his contract it helps the Dodgers and also his own tax situation.

California has a pretty high tax rate, but one wonders too if the complexity of trying to understand how he could achieve what he's doing by deferring, personal tax wise, within the antiquated CRA rules, was even possible, and thus a barrier to getting the same deal done as he got in LA (assuming the Jays would match $700M or whatever it ended up being to make Ohtani whole, personally)?
