Is it of course? If I was an insurance company, I don't know I would want to take on that kind of a risk. Just because someone wants to insure something, doesn't necessarily mean a company will offer insurance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point but everything has a point where the reward covers the risk. Not being familiar with the insurance industry I have no idea where that point would be? What % of the contract value would cover the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that not every contract gets insured, but I have no idea what the criteria is, or whether it's the team's choice or the insurer's choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of games he's been shut down for isn't close to the total you're suggesting. Last year final 1 month, 2020 the last week, 2019 the final 2 1/2 weeks. The other 3 years he played until season's end. lol you are literally cherry picking when the team is being cautious with him the first couple years.. how many games have he missed the last 3 seasons? bo missed as much games in the last 3 years as ohtani have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5forFighting Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 14 hours ago, nuckin_futz said: An utterly foolish article written by an utterly foolish man. Ohtani underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018 which kept him off the mound for 2 seasons and just recently underwent an operation for a torn ulnar ligament and will not pitch next season. He could easily be damaged goods within a few years. Of course insurance would cover his contract but then Rogers would be left with no NHL and no Ohtani. I hope they pay him 600 million over 10 years. Millenial talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great news for both hockey fans and Blue Jays fans. What the hell is the hate coming from for Singh? This guy is a passionate but likeable guy (to many). I have zero issues with him.

Miss Korea Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 13 hours ago, nuckin_futz said: I'm OK with them signing him. It's not my money paying him. I have no idea what revenue Ryu brought to the team, I have never seen any figures. If you have a link I'd like to see it. The NHL broadcasting rights are lucrative at the right price. I don't have any links, and it's difficult to really quantify sponsorship deals. Obviously we have no clue how much money companies like Samsung gave to the Blue Jays. But I do know that Ryu brought so much Jays exposure to South Korea that some of their backstop ads were in full Korean. Just like how some of the Ichiro ads in Seattle were in full Japanese. I would expect the exact same thing wherever Ohtani ends up. Difficult to determine what the right price for an NHL deal was, but it certainly wasn't $500 million per year.
