「私が代理人になら１５００億円」大谷の契約を語るスコット・ボラス【日本語字幕】

You really thought it would get above Otani? Oh, the net present value. Uhhuh. Of course, because Otani was in my mind the valuation on Otani was was not in anywhere near the true value of the player. It should have been what for him? Well, Otani brings $1500 to $200 million of revenue to a team. Otani also pitches and Otani also is an MVP hitter. So when you look at this, it’s going to be very easy to say that reflecting on what an MVP type bat is worth in Juan Sodto, then you evaluate Otani and say what is he worth? So you think he would have been what? Oh, he’s a billiondollar player for sure because of the fact that he has an evaluation that who brings the global rights of teams are yet to be exhibited and Otani is proof of that because he brings Japan, Korea, the Asian market, 200 million people to the regional rights because as I read the agree the the the Dodgers get to sell their regional broadcasting rights internationally and everybody can buy them to watch one player, Otani. So the valuation on that is is literally literally just so extraordinarily high because he brings a nation a global rights to a to a franchise that didn’t exist. The the point of it was that he is so uniquely skilled on the field that in addition to the fact but he he pays for himself times four with the revenues he brings in. And so he’s created something that is, you know, unheard of to a sports franchise. And being I go to Japan every year, I I knew this, you know, and I had met with Atani three or four times. How close did you get to signing him? Well, we never really knew the process, but his parents were delightful people. He was wonderful, very polite, as was his coach and the whole thing. We were thought we were very close, but the we ended up knowing that the team, his former team was directly involved in the in and what the choices were and watching him pitch and throw was well worth the time spent because he he’s a remarkable baseball talent. He just really is. Did you beat yourself up uh losing out on not having the opportunity? You realize is you realize that the forces that were in effect in the decision making were not something that you could in any way uh control because the basis of it was very different than the normal individual player choosing a representative. It was just a a very different process and need from that perspective. you have such great respect for the player and uh and watching him every night as I do here in LA. Um it’s certainly you could have imagined the difference uh that we felt we could have made with them. Yeah. In the Athletic that you released, the Angels didn’t capitalize on having show Otani. Now they get to watch the Dodgers do so. First of all, this hit me when I was at Dodgers camp this spring and there were thousands of people on the back field at Dodgers camp and I thought to myself, this is an amazing phenomenon. We all know about the money they’ve made. We all know about Otani being followed by Yamamoto and now Sasaki. And why couldn’t this have been the Angels? That’s what came to me. The Angels had Otani. They had him for six years. And yet they never capitalized in the way that the Dodgers have. And really what I talked about in the article were three things. One, their failure to capitalize economically the way the Dodgers have and that means bringing in sponsorships. It means bringing in fans. Then they had every opportunity to trade Otani and they didn’t do that. Now if you were going to sign Otani, if you had that in your head, okay, then maybe you don’t trade him and maybe you think we’ll just keep him and do that. But they didn’t sign Otani either. So every step, every stage here, they fell short and they missed an opportunity. It’s the failure to capitalize financially. It’s the failure to trade him and then the failure to sign him when you could have had Otani for the same deal deal that he took from the Dodgers. Now I don’t know that Otani would have taken the Angels over the Dodgers, but the Angels didn’t value him properly, didn’t see his place in the sport properly, and it all led to all this. Who’s to blame in the Angels organization ultimately? Well, the article is about Arty Moreno and why he is the one to blame and because he’s the one, of course, as the owner overseeing all this. He was the one who did not take advantage full advantage of the economic benefits. He’s the one who did not allow his front office to trade Otani. And of course, he’s the one who ultimately did not sign Otani either. So, yes, Moreno is the focal point of this, the centerpiece of this. Now I’m also seeing in the article how Arty Moreno thought that the contract would be in the fours. It was in the fours in net present value. So, does he not understand how deferrals worked and that’s why he thought it was actually 700, but it’s not? I don’t know, Scott. And Tom Verduchi was the one who reported that, quoting a source saying that he thought Arty Moreno did that the contract would be in the fours. And you’re right, in present day value, once you eliminate the deferrals or incorporate the deferrals, I should say, then yes, by both the union’s calculation and the league’s calculation, it’s in the 400 million 500 million range. That’s where he supposedly wanted to be. My guess is, and I wrote this, that he objected to the total value, the 700 million, and that’s why he made the decision not to engage Otani on that particular number that he was talking about.
