The pair of opt-outs in Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s historic 12-year, $325 million contract is connected to his right elbow’s status.

If Yamamoto undergoes Tommy John surgery or lands on the injured list for at least 134 straight days during the first six years of his contract from 2024-29, then he can opt out of this contract following the 2031 (eighth) and 2033 (10th) seasons of his deal, per The Associated Press.

In this scenario, the Dodgers would also receive a conditional $10 million option for 2036 with no buyout, according to the Associated Press.

If the Japanese ace stays healthy in those first six seasons, though, he can opt out after the 2029 (sixth) and 2031 seasons, giving him earlier opportunities to cash in again.

Yamamoto, 25, cannot block any trades, but he can opt out following any season in which he’s traded.

While the Dodgers are not making a mockery of the luxury tax with deferrals like they did with Shohei Ohtani’s deal, they have back-loaded Yamamoto’s deal.

He will earn $5 million in 2024, $10 million in 2025 and $12 million in 2026, before his salary gets bumped to $26 million from 2027-29, $29 million from 2030-31 and $28 million from 2032-35, per The AP.

The right-hander’s deal also includes a full-time interpreter, physical therapist, personal trainer, a hotel suite on road trips and five round-trip airline tickets each year, per the report.

Yamamoto’s contract beat Gerrit Cole’s nine-year, $324 million deal by $1 million to become the largest pitching contract in MLB history.

The Dodgers won a bidding war with the Mets and Yankees, among other teams, to secure Yamamoto’s services after he starred in Japan’s Pacific League.

Among Yamamoto, Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow, who received a $110 million extension, the Dodgers spent more than $1 billion in their quest to win their first non-COVID championship since 1988.

The Dodgers are heavy favorites at FanDuel to win the 2024 World Series.

Their +380 odds are way ahead of the Atlanta Braves, who sit second with +650.
