21 comments

1. Dbacks trying to copy the Dodgers.

2. Unfair and bad for baseball

3. This is so unfair. HOW CAN MY TEAM COMPETE WITH THIS?!?!

   /s

4. Surprised that the first two years aren’t higher AAV before the opt out

5. That’s snakey good

6. Good contract for both.

7. Cue the Orioles fans whining that their team based in Maryland didn’t throw $350M at a guy whose wife just had twins and wants to stay home in Arizona.

8. So it’s a 2 year $70mil contract with $20mil deferred.

   But they get a $32mil AAV CBT hit

   Got it

9. Dbacks looks pretty interesting in 2025

10. I actually don’t get the opt-out after 2 years. His value is only going to go down? He’s gonna regress per year

11. He didn’t even get any horses?

12. Blue Jays sub may need a call into 9-1-1 for a welfare check

13. They should just call it Bonilla’d instead of deferred.

14. Wait isn’t this illegal? I thought we were the only ones allowed to defer contracts.

15. The diamondbacks are ruining baseball

16. I get this weird feeling he’s not making it pass the opt out

17. LETS GO SNEKS DEFERRAL BROS

18. b-b-but deferred money is bad for baseball

19. Very good business by AZ. Ive been impressed with how they’ve been managing and building a good squad there

20. Bad timing for the opt out. Smack dab in the middle of the upcoming work stoppage.  

21. Step one. Defer all salaries. Step two. Go bankrupt. Step three. Restructure and start over.
