The Japanese superstar will receive $2 million per year over the 10-year agreement, which defers $68 million annually.

It’s July 1, which for New York Mets fans means it’s Bobby Bonilla Day. The deal is part of a contract negotiated by Bonilla’s agent Dennis Gilbert, which will pay Bonilla $1,193,248.20 every year until 2035. Bonilla, a former All-Star who last played with the Mets in 1999, will be 72 when his contract with the team expires. The Mets wanted to part ways with Bonilla in 1999, but he had $6 million left on his contract. Madoff was the mastermind of the most notorious Ponzi scheme in history.
