They aren't going to do anything... not for the least reason that I'm sure they care significantly less about applying a CBT total dollar rate in lieu of a NPV discount rate vs. the possibility of labour unrest.

I think Bobby Bonilla was a much different situation. He only deferred about $6M of his salary and that was when he was bought out by the Mets in the last year of his deal. His original contract was like $30M, so he ended up deferring 20% of his contract and only when we got released.
Ohtani has deferred 97% of his entire contract upfront. There really is no comparable here.
