Bobby Bonilla celebrates huge wage today: Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why Mets pays $ 1.19 on July 1st

The calendar has changed to July, which may mean one thing: it's time for Mets fans to ask one another Happy Day Bobby Bonilla! Why? Monday, Bobby Bonilla, aged 56, will collect a $ 1,193,248.20 check from New York Mets, as he will and will every July 1, 2011 by 2035.
What happened?

In 2000, Mets agreed to buy the remaining $ 5.9 million on Bonilla's contract.

However, instead of paying Bonilla the amount of $ 5.9 million at that time, Mets has agreed to make annual payments of nearly $ 1.2 million for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, including a negotiated interest of 8%.

At that time, Mets's property was involved in a Bernie Madoff account, which promised a two-figure return during the transaction, and Mets prepared to get a significant profit - if the Madoff account was delivered. She did not.

What now?

Mets will pay Bonilla more this season than they will pay with Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. Bonilla last played for Mets in 1999 and last played for the cardinals majors in 2001, but will be paid until 2035 (when he is 72).
Other notable examples of deferred contracts in cash

• Bobby Bonilla (again): A second deferred contract with Mets and Orioles pays $ 500,000 a year for 25 years. These payments began in 2004.

Bret Saberhagen: Saberhagen will receive $ 250,000 a year from Mets for 25 years (payments began in 2004, which inspired Bonilla's agreement).

• Max Scherzer: will receive a total of $ 105 million from citizens who will be paid by 2028.

• Manny Ramirez: will collect the total of $ 24.2 million from Red Sox by 2026.

• Bruce Sutter: He signed an agreement with the Braves before the 1985 season with deferred money. He had to pay $ 750,000 a year, while with Braves, then for 30 years after retiring, he would have received at least $ 1.12 million a year. Braves will pay until 2020. He received $ 750,000 in 1989 and 1990 because he retired two years later on the six-year agreement, so that the 30 years of the other installments began only in 1991.

2019 Home Participate in Derby derby, bracket and why each slugger could win

Highlighted by a 50 kilometer MVP, a beginner with the monstrous power and the youngest ever to make the field, the eight competitors who will try to join recent Home Run Derby winners such as Bryce Harper (2018) , Aaron Judge (2017) and Giancarlo Stanton (2016) were revealed. The stakes are even higher this summer as the champion will be rewarded with $ 1 million for the first time in All-Star history.

Here's what you need to know about the weaknesses that will swing for fences as part of the All-Star celebrations in Cleveland.

Watch MLB All-Star Home Run Derby live on Progressive Field: Monday at 8:00. ET on ESPN.

Why Yelich can win: Well he leads the main leagues in the home circuit, being the first player of the National League 30 years before Albert-Pujols All-Star break in 2009. He also hits the hard ball, only with Aaron Judge and Joey Gallo has a higher average exit speed. This should translate well to the Home Run Derby, even if Yelich is not a pure balls hitter like many other top bosses.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: proving that his 2018 MVP prize did not take place, Yelich became better, solidifying his status as one of the best players in the game with the chance to be the first -back MVP in the Pujols National League in 2008 and 2009. He is also the first MVP winner to take part in the 2009 Pujols Home Run Derby.

Did you know? The 2018 MVP National League had 29 people who entered July, the fourth most of a MVP who reigned before July 1, according to the Elias Sports Bureau study. Yelich will be the 10th Brewers player to take part in the Derby, but he is looking to join Prince Fielder as the only winner.

Why can Alonso win it: Uhh, hello? Have you seen how much the ball hits? He heads majors with 20 home rounds of 400 meters plus six including 440 plus. His lusts can leave the park.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: We love beginners, we love big boys and we love beginners playing in New York and hit massive home. As a judge in 2017, Alonso has the opportunity to win over fans across the country with a victory in Derby.

Did you know? Alonso has established the Mets rookie record for home racing in a season that exceeds Darryl Strawberry's 26th birthday in 1983. Alonso will track Strawberry again at Derby's Home Run. Strawberry is the only Mets player to win the event, doing so in 1986.

Why Bell Can Win: Uhh, hello? Have you seen how much the ball hits? Bell's curse season was immortalized with several rounds of home in the Allegheny River beyond the right pillars of PNC Park - he became only the fourth player in PNC history to reach the river in flight. These explosions recorded 472 and 454 feet on the Statcast measurement knob and hit another three 450-foot home trip.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: Bell might have more power than Alonso and might be the best able to reach the 500 meter threshold during the event. She is also an appealing personality that deserves a moment of focus on the national scene.

Did you know? Bell is the sixth Pirates player to take part in the Home Run Derby and the bar was not too big for him. Despite sending MVP caliber players like Barry Bonds and Andrew McCutchen, no Pirates player hit more than six rounds of home in a single Derby, the less Derby won.

Why Bregman can win it: Because you know he wants to win Derby. He participated last year and struck 15 rounds of home despite losing his match with Kyle Schwarber, who struck 16th The quick, hard-to-beat hit is right for Derby even if he does not have the rough power of some of the other guys in field. However, in the 23 home rounds it indicates that it has no problems reaching the seats when necessary.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: he has become one of the faces of the game, not just for his star game on the ground (he was the fifth in the MVP last season vote) but for his personality and enthusiasm. Astros Manager, AJ Hinch, likes to say that nobody loves playing the game just as much as Bregman. It's good for Astros and good for the game.

Did you know? Bregman hit 54 home rounds in the last two seasons - he shot 41, seven went to the center and only six went to the opposite side. Derby's best performance by an Astros player was Lance Berkman's final in 2004.

Why did Pederson win: Almost won as a rookie in 2015 in Cincinnati, defeating Manny Machado and Albert Pujols, before losing Todd Frazier in the final, 15-14, in a controversial final (Frazier's brother landed, supposedly against the rules).

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: Well, let's be honest: we prefer to have Dodgers crew, Cody Bellinger, instead of Pederson. Not that Pederson can not hit the long ball: he has hit 20 rounds at home, even if he is a platoon player (all 20 rounds have come against the right-hand game).

Did you know? Over the past two seasons, Pederson is the 10th in most, with a higher percentage than the straight claws (.564 entering the game on Wednesday). In isolated power, he is the fifth behind Mike Trout, Christian Yelich, Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy. Pedersen finished in Derby in 2015, being the best Dodgers player.

Why Acuña can win it: Have you seen the 437-meter laser that hit Noah Syndergaard ... in the opposite field? Acuña - all the powers of the field have helped him to develop into an elite maser, only 21 years old - 12 of the 20 home runs in the center or in the opposite field - and maybe this feature will help him win in Cleveland.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: he is a future MVP candidate, and his demonstration and enthusiasm make him one of the most exciting and dynamic players in the game. He is good and he knows, and it's a good bet to put a show.

Did you know? Acuña will try to do something that no Braves player has ever done at Home Run Derby: before the first round. Atlanta sent a player to Derby 11 times before and each was eliminated in the first round. This is by far the most occurrences without a player advancing, more than doubling Pirates and Padre (five).

Why Santana can win: he was able to support the championship supported by his hometown - I think Todd Frazier wins in Cincinnati in 2015 or Bryce Harper last year to Washington or even Justin Bour with 22 home at Marlins Park in 2017 Judge who hit 2. 3). The fans' energy seems to always help with a little adrenaline.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: He has long been an undervalued player due to his basic skills and has a terrible jumping season back in Cleveland, making his first All-Star game. It's always fun to have a hometown representative for fans to boast.

Did you know? Santana will become the first Indian player to take part in Grady Sizemore's Home Run Derby in 2008 and seek to become the first Indian player to win.

Why Guerrero can win: he did not get out of the gate in his debut season but checked the distances on his land: 451, 438, 436, 434, 424, 407, 395, 382. Gross power is there and sessions his practice of battalions are legendary.

Why can not we wait to see him in Cleveland: the beginner with a lot of attention is already a household name, so this contest is done to promote a player like him. Additionally, there are not many reasons to look at Blue Jays this season, so this may be the only occasion that some fans have to see only at important times.

Did you know? Guerrero has eight homes at home, with the lowest number of jobs from any Home Run Derby participant since the start of the event in 1985. (Kris Bryant had 12 career HRs in 2015 when he attended the current low.) Vlad Sr. Guerreros will join Fielders (Cecil and Prince) as the only father-son duo to compete in Derby. Vlad Jr. is also trying to bring home a title for Toronto. Blue Jays sent 15 Derby participants (second time), but never won.
