Meanwhile, in MLB, the Mets signed JD Martinez, which I'm excited about. And they gave him a mini-Bonilla contract ($1.5 million deferred per year from 2034 through 2038), which would bother me but it's a lot smaller than Bonilla's, and honestly, by that time, it's a steal for the Mets.

Good signing. Was the contract structure to stay under luxury tax?

Not quite -- I think they're already over it, but they want to avoid being more over it.

Teams just starting to arb the fact that the USD will be worth a lot less in 10 years I guess. Maybe they will figure out they should keep some of those deferred commitments in Bitcoin and double the benefit of USD down and Bitcoin up in USD terms.

I hope you're right -- if there's one thing the Mets have shown, it's that they often predict things 100% wrong.
