Bobby Bonilla Has Also Been Getting Paid $500K Every July 1st By The Baltimore Orioles

It’s July 1, which means MLB fans will spend the day laughing at the New York Mets still paying an almost 60-year-old Bobby Bonilla over $1 million.

However, not many fans realize that Bonilla also gets another check from another team on this same day as well.

The Baltimore Orioles are also on the hook for $500,000 a year through 2028, while the Mets are paying him through 2035.

The Mets aren't the only team paying out a deferred contract to Bobby Bonilla every July 1.
