避稅作帳！美媒曝：大谷合約6.8億鎂2034才開始領

旅美日籍投打「二刀流」大谷翔平（Shohei Ohtani）與道奇簽下10年、7億鎂合約（約220億台幣），平均年薪7000萬鎂（約22億台幣），羨煞不少職業運動員，不過礙於美國的高稅率，以及球隊的薪資上限考量，大谷與道奇達成延遲付款，根據美國職棒專家的預測，大谷最少每年只領200萬鎂（6299萬台幣）都是有可能的選項。

美國《ESPN》專欄作家派森（Jeff Passan）首先強調，合約內容不會被公開，理論上「遞延支付薪資是沒有一定限制，甚至是 7 億鎂中的 6.8 億鎂都有可能。」

大谷同意道遞延之支付薪資，代表未來合約年間，每年大谷只能領到200萬鎂。

For anyone wondering if MLB will challenge or cancel Ohtani's contract: The answer is unequivocally no. There is a specific article in the collective-bargaining agreement that addresses this. And it's very clear: Deferred money is limitless -- even $680 million of $700 million. pic.twitter.com/DGNK0JulED

WOW! Shohei Ohtani will be deferring $68M per year during his 10-year contract with the Dodgers, allowing the team to keep spending, per @FabianArdaya

He will get paid $68M per year from 2034-2043 🤯 pic.twitter.com/m7oi57qmqc
