Yes, this is the same reason I recommend annuity payout for lottery winners.

I personally think most every athlete is grossly overpaid.
But, I also believe in a fair market and if owners are willing to pay, it's OK with me.

I don't care what anyone says, it's still the greatest contract of all time.

It’s deferred income rather than a structured settlement annuity. My thought would be that it still pays out to the heirs.

what would the value of the contract be be worth today if he was paid in a lump sum instead of strung out for decades?

I'm a long suffering fan since 1970. We're continually a stupid franchise. Latest exhibit was watching Soto's half-arse effort in left field this week. It's a clown show.

Nope
Bruce Sutter Lifetime Contract With Atlanta Braves was better.

For the retards who keep this lie going.

The Braves agreed to pay sutter $1.12 million annually for the next 30 years, with the last payment of $9.1 million in principal due in 2022


quote:

bonilla negotiated a 25-year deferred payment plan worth roughly $29.8 million in total

Bobby Bonilla needs to renegotiate the last 9 years, maybe $500,000 per year to him/family to 2100 so the Mets can make it a 100 year deal
