Bobby Bonilla Day: 9 active MLB players from Rafael Devers to Shohei Ohtani who get paid deferred money too

This is my one gripe with the ongoing joke that is Bobby Bonilla Day every year.

Yes, on July 1, the former New York Mets outfielder gets paid over a million dollars NOT to play baseball from the team and will do so through 2035. But it’s also worth noting the Baltimore Orioles pay him deferred money … and there are a BUNCH of big names who will make money from baseball teams that they don’t play for.

Yet we don’t have a Max Scherzer Day! Or a Freddie Freeman Day!

You get the picture.
