where are you seeing the overall dollars.. I have only seen the 5/140 was as high as the braves went. His agent countered with 6/160 something.. but the Braves never went that high.

I think he means actual dollars over the length of the deal, which is only 144 million. The rest of his money is deffered.

yeah, I didn't see any deferred initially... I wonder with so many players taking deferments, especially from the Dodger$, if there is some sort of investment plan, or inflation match on those dollars that makes it more lucrative. I can't imagine so many players deferring that much money knowing the depreciation of dollars now vs future due to inflation. there has to be something that makes it more appealing.
 
When you factor in California taxes and the deferrals, the Dodgers contract is significantly less.

There were a few news articles breaking it down at the time. Made it pretty clear.

The players union trying to get them the biggest number possible

And I said it up thread but there was local sentiment that the wife was trying to do some fashion branding out in California and didn’t want to do it in Atl

Yeah, I think Freddie is mostly at fault here for playing games and being a little bitch, but AA is not without blame either.

Mostly, I’m just tired of talking about it.

Have to factor in the reaction on this board at the time. I'm not sure anyone here expected he'd still be performing at this level at this age. In fact I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that first baseman age horribly. So hindsight is 20/20.

Which is why it didn’t make any sense to then turn around and sign another 1B with worse hit tools through the same age.
