Still to see the listed demand on the offseason center was 10y, 600m yet he signs for 7y/183m deserves to be looked into.

That's not even in the same ballpark.

As for the Pujols and Cabrera's contracts you need to stop looking at it from the end of the contract as overpaid but the start as being a bargain, so because of that you end up overpaying in the end.

The contact isn't about what the 40yr old player is going to be paid but what they get now. Most time it's likely a great deal, until it's not.

So while 41yr old Ohtani isn't close to being worth 50m+ a year, 31yr old him is though, or least was before the injury.
