LOS ANGELES - Is Shohei Ohtani being underpaid by the Los Angeles Dodgers? As crazy as that sounds, considering Ohtani had signed a $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December 2023, there's a case for the Boys in Blue's front office to be had where the team may have landed baseball's "unicorn" on a severe bargain.

Ohtani would also become the 12th player in history to win at least three MVP awards. Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Roy Campanella, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Albert Pujols, Stan Musial, Mike Trout, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Schmidt also won three MVPs. Only one player has won more — Barry Bonds (seven).

It was announced shortly after the Dodgers won the World Series that their star, Shohei Ohtani, would have surgery, but when will he pitch?

A look at the history of Dodgers finishing in the top three of National League MVP voting, with Shohei Ohtani the latest to do so in 2024. Only 30 players in the history of the franchise have ever been voted in the top three for the MVP award.

Shohei Ohtani's signing by the Dodgers has already paid off, generating millions in revenue in his debut year. With exceptional skills and global appeal, Ohtani is redefining value in MLB.
