You’re a busy person, you can’t be expected to keep up with everything going on across the world of sports every day.
That’s where we come in.
Every day, we’ll give you a high-level overview of what happened on the field, ( or court or ice or pitch or..), what made news off of it and any other notable & entertaining anecdotes that will help you to be ready for any conversation that may take place at the water cooler.
Without further ado, here’s What You Missed In Sports Last Night for December 12, 2023.
1. Bobby Bonilla 2.0
Shohei Ohtani will defer $68 million of his $70 million annual salary with the Dodgers, per @FabianArdaya.
— Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) December 11, 2023
That means Ohtani will receive just $2M annually, with the rest coming (without interest) from 2034 to 2043.
Ohtani requested this to give the team payroll flexibility. pic.twitter.com/pYRLYcHHYP
2. Hungry Dogs Run Faster
WHAT A NIGHT OF FOOTBALL.
