Shohei Ohtani’s on-field MLB salary for 2025 is $2 million. This comes from his Dodgers contract structure, where most of the $700 million over 10 years is deferred until after 2034, resulting in a $2 million annual salary for the initial years and $68 million annual payments in the later years when the deferrals are paid out. In addition to the contract, Ohtani’s endorsement and branding deals can contribute a substantial amount outside of his Dodgers paycheck, with endorsements often contributing tens of millions in a given year depending on the period and campaigns. For the 2025 season, the Dodgers’ payroll figures show Ohtani at $2 million in salary from the team, while the broader compensation picture includes the large deferred component of his contract and any ancillary endorsement income. If you’d like, I can pull up the latest official sources or summarize how deferrals affect total earnings over the life of the contract.
