The letter, which was published in the 13th oldest newspaper published in the United States, makes the points on which Showtime should sign such a large sum.

Heyman also mentions Trea Turner’s contracts ($300 million with the Phillies, turning down the Padres’ $342 million offer), Xander Bogaerts’ offer ($280 million with the Padres, a record for a decade after the exclusion exercise), Carlos Corea’s offer (first $350 million with Giants then $315 million with the Mets) and Masataka Yoshida ($90 million, a record for a Japanese free agent).

Ohtani is a talented baseball player, who can throw like the best and hit the level of the most feared player. He is the classic prototype of the future baseball player. He’ll be a free agent on the outside, and Heyman’s expectations will likely pay off. The chances of signing the 28-year-old for $500 million or more are very reliable.
