No use retooling before the expansion draft tbh. Agreed, I have my 15 selected and it leaves crap for the expansion teams. Sucks I have little to offer for that, besides crap haha

The Mets deferred a $5.9 million payment before 2000 to make this shit happen

It's one of the worst contracts ever signed by a club -- and best ever by an overrated player. It was actually written by the Marlins in 1996 and then passed along until the Mets obtained Bonilla in 1999. After he hit .160 that year, the club apparently decided it was better to just get rid of him rather than have him hanging around the clubhouse, picking fights. (Remember "Make ya move."? Another misty watercolor memory of '90s baseball. I'm getting a little Ken Burnsey here, I'm sorry.)
Anyway, that's how the Mets got stuck paying the tab. Rather than pay him $5.9 million right then, they decided on a deferred payment plan of more than four times that amount spread over the years 2011-2035. Hey, I guess it seemed a long way off in 2000. Hilariously, he remains the Mets' highest paid outfielder. But I can't think of a better club to CTC.
