A problem specific to Ohtani (and other two-way players) in the game is that they don't seem to be valued for their position player and pitching abilities combined but rather one or the other (often depending on what you are viewing them as, hitter or pitcher).
For example, and this was in 23 so I don't know if it's changed in 24, but I was able to re-sign a 2-way guy in 2033 whom had been exclusively used as a hitter the previous few seasons (and put up multiple 40-HR seasons and earned about 4 WAR/year) much cheaper and for a shorter term when I went to his player page and chose "set as SP" where he still had decent pitching ratings than what he was willing to sign for as a 1B.
