The anecdotal story is the Wilpons figured better to pay out Bonilla much more over time because by delaying payments, they would come out ahead factoring in the expected return that money would bring through Madoff. Once the Madoff house of cards collapsed and Wilpons were facing insolvency, I would've advised them to offer Bonilla an ownership stake in the team in lieu of future payments. Maybe they did. Bonilla's agents and lawyers deserve to be inducted into the Sports Representatives Hall of Fame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of games played so regular season games will be nowhere near as intense as football until you get to the end of the season, but baseball playoffs, if you have a rooting interest are actually quite the opposite of boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they see the contracts good but not great MLB players sign. And then still won’t pick up a glove. ?♂️ Because baseball is the most boring game to play on the face of the earth. You play a game for 3-4 hours and you have 2-3 balls hit to you and you get 4 at bats for total action of about 5 -10 minutes. The rest of the time you stand or sit and watch. I coached youth lacrosse for 10 years and it shares a season with baseball. Every single time I had a kid who played both baseball and lacrosse, the kid would eventually choose lacrosse. They would play a baseball game and get maybe 2 at bats and field a ball or two in 2 hours. Then play lax and had more action in 5 minutes than they had in 2 hours of baseball. I had a saying - "if you want to walk, play baseball. If you want to run, play lacrosse." No kid wants to spend two hours alternating between sitting in the dugout and standing in the field hoping a ball is hit to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
