The Bobby Bonilla All-Stars: A starting lineup of star players getting deferred money like him

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to all who celebrate and make memes.

Because July 1 is the day in which the former New York Mets outfielder gets paid a cool $1.19 million by the franchise in deferred money — although he ALSO gets $500,000 from the Baltimore Orioles! — and everyone makes jokes.

But we like to remind you that there are others who get paid, both active players and some like Ken Griffey Jr. who are long retired.

So we decided to put together an All-Star team of star players who, like Bonilla and others, will get paid a lot after they’re done or are already making that money:

He’ll get $5 million in 2026 and 2027 from the Phillies.

Dude is getting a reported $57 million in deferred money from the Dodgers from 2028 through 2040.

I couldn’t find an active second baseman with deferred money owed, so he makes the team with the $2 million he’ll make next year and the $2.5 million for the next four years after.

He’s getting $5 million a year from 2032 to 2041 from the Mets.

From 2031 to 2042, he’ll earn $2.3 million a year.

Only one more year of deferred money left from his Reds contract!

He’s no longer a Met, but he’s getting paid $52 million from 2035 to 2039 by the franchise.
