And the players don't want them to get rid of the deferred money, which is what the Dodgers used to sign Shohei Ohtani, where they're paying him $70 million, but not really, because they're only paying him like about $20 million.
Jim KennedyGUEST
And then $50 million goes into a deferred account, where he'll be the new Bobby Bonilla, and he'll get paid sometime around the turn of the next century, probably, or something like that.

Scott BentleyHOST
Just to run through some of the other guys that I expect to be on the team on opening day, Javy Báez, next year will be the last year of his deal, so I, I think they're just gonna bite the bullet and kind of eat that one and, a- and see it till the end.
Scott BentleyHOST
Uh, they could, I, I guess, work out a buyout type of situation, but then you're talking about potentially, you know, um, [smacks lips] you know, like a Bobby Bonilla [laughs] situation, I guess.

Not that, like, that, you know, it's $1 million, whatever.

but that gift.
Kevin YoungGUEST
Yeah, but I think it all started, and it literally started by the influences of two guys that, that I looked up to when I first signed with the Pirates in 1990, and it was Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds because I saw what they did.
Kevin YoungGUEST
I mean, I saw, you know, them drive in 100, I saw them score 100 runs a season, and I saw the impact of, you know, what that was.
Kevin YoungGUEST
It was winning.
