Ted Turner, or rather his GM, signed Al Hrabosky to a similarly long-term contract which I believe just recently ran out...of course, that was a few years prior to and quite a bit of money less than the Bonilla pact.
Yup. Here's some detail:
Terms were not disclosed but Hrabosky said the agreement includes deferred payments. It has been estimated those payments will total $5.9 million over 35 years.
Hrabosky indicated a verbal agreement with Braves owned Ted Turner allows for the colorful left-hander to work for Turner's WTBS cable television station as a sportscaster when his playing days are over.
