    How is this latest move good for baseball? The guy is deferring $680 million of the deal so only $2 million counts against the cap. There should be a rule that 75% of it has to be paid out during the contract years at a minimum. I also thought teams had a debt ceiling... This is basically debt.

    I have a feeling the Dodgers are going to really regret this.

            Move out of socialist California when it’s time to collect and don’t lose half of it to taxes.

            Baseball shouldn’t allow it.

              Definitely some type of a loophole. Dodgers are basically getting him for free and than some since that $680 mil will be making way more than 2 mil a year for the next 10 years.

                  What reason does he have to learn another language? He can just hire a translator 24/7

                    They don’t speak English in Southern Cal anyway. What does he need to learn that for?

                                  The Mets are still paying Sabs and Bobby Bo in a similar deal.

                                    Bobby Bo was lightyears ahead of his time. Guy is set at $1m a year and made good investments. One of the better players story of success.

                                    Team salary caps are a joke. Like everything else… someone will always build a better mouse trap.
