Another 1.2 million paid to a player who hasn't played in 22 years.

And the Mets will continue to pay until 2035.  :thumbup:

Sounds like some of the cluster decisions UT powerheads made here for years.

Don’t the Braves still have Bruce Sutter on one of those lifetime plans? What a bust he was. At least Bonilla got the Mets to the WS once.

According to Wikipedia, he had 4.8 million deferred at 13% interest. That started in 1990 and worked out to be 1.3 million per year for 30 years. Sutter died October 13, 2022.
