LINKI just learned about this.

quote:

Nevertheless, starting on July 1, 2011, Bobby Bonilla will remain on the franchise's payroll for 25 years, collecting an annual salary of $1,193,248.20. Those are the terms the Mets agreed to Jan. 3, 2000, when they bought out the final year of Mr. Bonilla's contract.




This was dumb for both parties. Wouldn't he be making money from interest if he put the lump sum in a savings account?

It's smart on his part considering how athletes traditionally spend money.

And this is really old.

You can also act like a normal human being but I don't see you trying that.

The two highest paid Mets outfielders this year are Jason Bay and Bobby Bonilla.

Would be interesting to see how much money the Mets owners made off of that $6 million.
