The deferred compensation agreement that means Bonilla will be paid roughly $1.19M a year until 2035 sold at auction for $180K on Saturday.
In 1999, after a poor final stint with the Mets when he batted .160 with 4 home runs and 18 RBIs in 60 games, Mets management agreed to buy out Bonilla's contract instead of bringing him back for the 2000 season, when he would be paid $5.9M.
July 1 every year through 2035 is known as Bobby Bonilla Day to Mets fans. Why? Because the retired star is still on the Mets payroll.
