$70 million/season is way too much for what is ostensibly a DH.  I’d rather the Jays have two pretty good players at $30-35 each, than one Ohtani.  He’s really fun to watch though.

I'm not even gonna delete this because I want to make sure we can revisit this godawful take for years to come.

$70 million is crazy. McDavid is tops in NHL salary with $12.5 million IIRC>

It’s because there are less MLB players sharing significantly more revenue than the NHL generates.  Plus, McDavid’s deal was signed 4 or 5 years ago.  If he signed a new deal today he’d be getting a big raise.

McDavid doesn't win scoring titles and play as an elite goalie at the same time.

I don't know of any player since Babe Ruth era to both pitch and hit everyday.  And do both as good or better than everyone else in baseball.  It's crazy.  He has the most HR power in the game and throws the ball over 100mph.

Good point.  He’s being paid as a really good hitter and a really good pitcher at the same time.
