Bonilla gets balloon payments from Mets
http://m.nypost.com/p/news/local/met...QuSwnJVfKQ69OP
I wouldn't mind the $200K / year gig from MLB either!

Just incredible. I wonder what Jon Stewart would say about this.
It does seem as though deferred payments would be useful to a lot of players who managed to blow all of their money a few short years after making it. However, based on those spending habits, I'm betting that Bobby Bo will be Bobby Broke at some point. |

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. |

I figure he and Ollie Perez should get together and yuck it up at the Mets expense. That's why they're called "Amazing" I guess.
