They need to do something with deferred salary too. If they're going to allow it there should be a limit on how much of a contract can be deferred. It's pretty obvious both Ohtani and the Dodgers worked on it for luxury tax purposes which is the closest thing to a salary cap MLB has right now.

For sure. But if the Dodgers had spent their cap space on Ohtani they wouldn't be able to match that offer and he'd be somewhere else. And probably not the Mets, since their cap space would be going to pay Justin Verlander to play for the Astros...
