April 1, 20215 yr "The Mets have not confirmed the contract because it is not yet official. When it becomes so, the Mets expect Lindor to serve not only as a centerpiece of their roster, but as the face of their franchise and perhaps all of baseball. In terms of numbers, Lindor’s deal is nearly unprecedented across the American sports landscape. The richest contract ever for a shortstop, Lindor’s deal is the third largest in Major League history behind only Mike Trout and Mookie Betts. Lindor’s $22.3 million salary for 2021 remains unchanged, making the Mets’ total commitment to him $363.3 million over 11 seasons. The contract includes a limited no-trade clause and zero opt-outs, according to a source, all but assuring Lindor will be a Met for the bulk of his career. " MLB.com Symbolically, beat the Tatis, Jr. , deal by $1 million, but of course iit's not nearly so simple. Lindor's game is also more based on speed, which tends to decline the most quickly compared to power. Edited April 1, 20215 yr by caulfield12
April 1, 20215 yr "Including this year’s salary, in his last season of arbitration eligibility, Lindor will receive $362.3 million over 11 years, but deferrals will likely lower the present-day value. The $341 million is $1 million more than Fernando Tatis Jr. received this offseason in his 14-year deal from the Padres. Lindor’s deal includes a $21 million signing bonus and a partial no-trade clause. Lindor will get $32 million annually in each of the 10 seasons and $5 million each year deferred to 2032-41. The Mets had previously offered Lindor a 10-year contract worth $325 million. Lindor countered with a 12-year proposal worth $385 million, according to a source, that would have eclipsed the deal Mookie Betts received from the Dodgers last summer. Betts received a 12-year deal worth $365 million." NYPost.com One gets the feeling these deferrals for years down the line are going to become more and more common. With inflation finally expected to increase, it's an interesting play. Also, shout out to Bobby Bonilla and Herschel Walker.

Players are much more unified heading into 2022 as compared to the four distinct ownership factions: Tanking welfare check collectors. Judge Smails / JR tweaner group. Large market teams that love the salary tax” and hate sharing with the welfare teams. The Dodgers and now Cohen’s Mets who literally don’t give a fuck about what these other 28 cheap bastard ownership groups do.
