Bobby Bonilla’s Decade-Long Payday | Baltimore News

Every July 1st, baseball legend Bobby Bonilla gets a cool $1 million — part of a bizarre, decades-long payment plan that started when the Mets deferred his contract in 2000. He’ll keep getting paid until 2035, and the Orioles owe him $500K annually until 2028 too. With a 15-year career, 6 All-Star appearances, a World Series ring, and 3 Silver Sluggers, Bonilla’s still cashing in — even showing up to games on his payday. A wild reminder of how long sports contracts can last long after the cleats are retired.
