Buster Posey, a San Francisco Giants legend and part-owner, believes that the team's recruitment efforts of Shohei Ohtani hampered. Last week, the Japanese superstar committed to a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, but the vast majority of the deal will not be extended until 2034. Farhan Zaidi, the Giants' president of baseball operations, told reporters on Tuesday that the team used the same exact terms. However, Posey, who was part of the team's effort to pitch Ohtani on signing, believes that San Francisco itself influenced negotiations.

Shohei Ohtani's three offers, including a final plan by Farhan Zaidi, the Japanese two-way star's chairman of baseball operations, was "very close if not identical" to his record-breaking 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Dec. 2, Ohtani spent two hours with the Giants for a ballpark meeting with Zaidi, Greg Johnson, former catcher Buster Posey, and new manager Bob Melvin. San Francisco expanded and modified its offers to please Ohtani's requests, according to Zaidi. During a conference call on Tuesday, Zaidi said, "the plan was very similar, if not identical to what he wound up agreeing to." "We gave what seemed to be the best deal in major league history." We weren't the only one team to do it, according to me. But we wanted to show our tenacity and passion right out of the gate."
