Shohei Ohtani\'s historic deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers allows him to opt out if owner Mark Walter or president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman is no longer involved with the team, industry sources told ESPN.
The email outlining Ohtani\'s contract that was distributed to agents by the Major League Baseball Players Association on Wednesday and reviewed by ESPN stated: \"If specific change in Dodger personnel, Player may opt out of contract at end of season the change occurs.\" Two sources familiar with the contract confirmed an initial report by The Associated Press that the \"specific change\" is in reference to Walter and Friedman.
