I'd be shocked if he did. Between the 3 different payouts and salaries he's going to clear nearly $2Mill a year for the next several years and the Mets are paying him for the next 25 years.
Bonilla's ex-wife certainly earned her alimony by convincing him to take these deals, instead of getting a lump sum right away.
Hopefully he hasn't already spent the money by putting himself into deep debt, in anticipation of the payouts.
