Every July 1st until 2035 Bobby Bonilla receives his check for $1.193 Million for his deferred contract with the Mets.

Instead of paying $5.9 million to buyout his contract up front. The Mets decided to spread the contract out over 25 years (2011 to 2035) with 8% annual interest.

Wonder if that's the same model LVL is using to pay their NIL? lol

It’s going to be a sad day when Bobby Bonilla day finally ends. They should sign him to a lifetime deal.

Ken Griffey Jr got his last $3.5 million check on July 1, 2024. He lives next to Tiger Woods in Orlando.

Just think Griffey took a lot less to play for the Reds.... He could've really made bank if he would've went elsewhere... How many players would do that today? If injuries wouldn't had derailed his career everyone would be chasing his homerun record!

He was still the best Center Fielder I’ve ever seen when he was healthy. Also has the most beautiful swing ever.

Not sure I could have been happier they day it was announced. My favorite player going to my favorite team and they gave nothing for him. But it being the Reds it was destined not to work out.
