I think this is as simple as one of the richest teams in the sport paying an outrageous amount of money to appease their upset fan base that expects to win a WS.

Maybe you're right, but there will be a lot more Dodgers jerseys sold than Angles IMHO. Otani wasn't the same player at the beginning of his previous contract that he is now, we shall see how it all works out... I believe the Dodgers spent because they believe they will make it back a few fold, through multiple income streams!
