Former World Series champ Jerry Hairston<\/strong> says the Dodgers didn’t overpay when they dropped $700 million to get Shohei Ohtani<\/strong> <\/strong>… telling TMZ Sports<\/strong>, “He’s worth it.”<\/p>\n

L.A. inked the two-way star to the deal over the weekend … and with his pitching career in question due to a second Tommy John surgery on his throwing arm, many wondered if the Dodgers spent just a bit too much.<\/p>\n

But, Hairston made it clear to us on Monday … he believes they didn’t.<\/p>\n

As for why … the ex-outfielder who played two seasons for the Dodgers in 2012 and 2013 said there are a multitude of reasons. No. 1, he said he’s fully confident Ohtani will be able to pitch again in 2025. No. 2, he told us he believes the 29-year-old is “just entering his prime, especially with the bat.”<\/p>\n

\"Shohei<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani Joining Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-Year, $700 Million Contract <\/h4>\n

And, perhaps more importantly for the Dodgers’ bottom line, Ohtani brings in revenue like no other player in the sport.<\/p>\n

“He brings in anywhere from $70 to $85 million in revenue alone!” Hairston said.<\/p>\n

Hairston actually went on to praise Ohtani and the Dodgers for the contract<\/strong> — noting that the deal’s deferred payments will allow L.A. to surround the two-time MVP with even more talent in the next few seasons.<\/p>\n

“He is worth the price of admission,” Hairston said.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, almost all ($680m) of the monumental $700m contract is deferred an entire decade … meaning the Dodgers won’t start paying the Japanese star substantial money until 2034.<\/p>\n
