and in other quirks.....Bobby Bonilla is still getting 1.2mil a year from the Mets despite not having played for them in 20 years
Trevor Bauer wasn't wrong when he said they should all get 1 year deals. I understand not giving tens of millions a year right away to a young talent, but there's gotta be a better system......and this is in a system withOUT a salary cap...

on the one hand, higher taxes in California But you know Harper is thinking.....not only is Trout NOT coming to Philly, his contract makes Harper's look almost puny (from their standpoint....from mine I'd take 10% ...1% of one year and be ecstatic)

Too long. Nobody is going to be that good for that long.
Griffey Jr...no ARod...no. Pujols...no. Trout and Harper are the hot commodities now, but...just sayin'

Doesn't have to. They think they will earn back his entire contract way before it runs out. As far as salary hit to team payroll in relation to today's dollar it will probably be 1/3 of what it is now near its end.

Somebody told me that Bobby Bonilla, the long since retired outfielder, is still getting annual paychecks from the Mets. Seems silly, but if it's just delayed compensation for what he gave them during his productive playing days then maybe not so dumb.
