Déjà vu: Diaz deal with Mets not paid off until '42
Edwin Díaz's $102 million, five-year contract with the Mets includes $26.5 million in deferred payments that he won't completely receive until 2042.
People don’t realize there are a ton of these deals out there and Bonilla is the most famous but he was far from the first. Mets obviously have all the money in the world but this is a luxury tax move. It lessened the hit on luxury tax.![]()

I don’t think the Mets are gonna make a big offer to deGrom. I folllow the hot stove pretty closely and Cohen’s group doesn’t leak much but there hasn’t been much Mets and deGrom chatter. For a team who has seen his Medicals in great detail over the last couple years for a pitcher turning 35, this should throw up a red flag for those pursuing him.If Diaz got a $102 million contract, how much will the Mets offer Jacob deGrom?
How much will Aaron Judge get?
No it was worse, the Mets bought him out because they were still invested with Bernie, they thought his returns were real so it made better sense to keep the money invested than pay Bonilla at that time... Terrible terrible moveI don't believe the original Bonilla contract had this. It was created after the Bernie Madoff debacle which the Mets owner was invested in. I think that's what happened.
The Bonilla contract was created because they were doing so well with Madoff. It was before the debacle. I think the events went as follows…I don't believe the original Bonilla contract had this.

Lots of these deals out there.
Mets fan here. I don't care, it's not my money. There are tons of these deferred contracts too, not really sure how Bonilla became the poster boy for them but I do enjoy a good Bonilla day celebration every July 1.If Diaz got a $102 million contract, how much will the Mets offer Jacob deGrom?
