Next time I buy a house I'll ask the seller after we agree on a sales price if I can hold the money in my bank account for decades.

Bonilla gave up 5.9 million in 2000 in exchange for 29.8 million paid later.
Even discounting for the time value of money, Bonilla is coming out way ahead in that deal, all for a season he didn’t even have to play.
The Mets always look stupid in that deal for good reason.
