As for Harper, there seems to be a feeling that he really didn't enjoy free agency and took a deal long enough that he doesn't have to do it again. But if that's true, why didn't he just take the 10/300 the Nats offered in December? I guess the Nats deferred too much of it for his liking? That is a thing they do.

26 years old, knowing you'll be getting almost a third of a billion dollars. wild.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

I havent seen breakdown, but assuming he is really front loaded, as in 45 mill a year 1st 3 years, and 5 mill a yr last 3, that front loading is worth way more than an even 25 mill a year even spread. Assuming an interest rate of 9%, money doubles every 8 yrs.

As I understand it, they basically converted their current salaries into a payment that assumed the Mets could get a 10% return on their cash investments forever. Because they basically had an investment that was paying them 10% annually. And as long as the Mets kept those investments, they would be making money on the Bonilla deal. Well, it turned out the 10% was what they were getting from Bernie Madoff. Oops. Is that abour right?
