Wonder how much they are giving him?
7 years is a pretty long contract considering he'll be declining halfway into the contract at his age.... |

180+ and it runs through his age 36 season. |

Just saw that on the latest MLBTR update.. talk about an insane contract! They'll be paying him until he's 44. Here's an interesting twist:
Quote: | the deal includes a $50MM signing bonus that will be paid out “over a portion of time” for tax reasons. That bonus would, presumably, be included in the $210MM total. As Passan notes, the deferral makes the contract worth about $185MM in present-day dollars. (And MLB will calculate the value of the contract in present-day dollars for luxury-tax purposes, Rosenthal tweets.) |

Bobby Bonilla would be proud of that contract. |
