    Used to think this was a brilliant deal, but really had he invested it he'd probably be ahead given the messed up economic circumstances of last 15 years.

    1.1mm today is $500k 15 years ago

    Still, they could have paid him the $5.9million that they owed him, when all said and done they would have paid him $30million

    starting in the year 2035 they will pay Jacob Degrom 10.5 million a year for 5 years.

    I was looking at Saberhagen's career. His WAR was higher than I expected.

    Got into league at young age, won WS as very young P. Good years w/ Royals, I even forgot that he pitched for Mets.

    Had injuries in 30s, a few decent years w/ Boston, injured again on return to return + he was done.

    This is like winning the lottery and not taking a lump sum payment.
