Roberto Martin Antonio Bonilla is a former player in Major League Baseball of Puerto Rican descent who played from 1986 to 2001. He sends a thank you note to his bosses every July 2... Each year on the first of July, the former Met collects a paycheck of just under $1.2 Million, $1,193,248.20 to be exact - all the way until 2035. Why? Because the Mets deferred the $5.9 Million he was supposed to make in 2000, when he was released in January and never even played - stretching it out 24 years with eight percent interest. That $5.9 Million will actually be $29.8 Million. #bobbybonilladay #mets #wilponsInstagram
