When the Nats made that foolish deal with Strasburg my gut told me it was a bad idea. Now they are stuck with with that until 2028. They should try to cut a deal and pay him off now and try an cut their losses.
As for guaranteed contracts and having to pay well after the player is retired or gone,,,,,, I encourage you to look up 'Bobby Bonilla Day: Why the NY Mets pay out $1.19M on July 1'. There are a bunch of players still getting paid and not playing.
