“Dodgers Will File For Bankruptcy” – MLB Fans React To Deferred Money In Tommy Edman’s $74 Million Contract Extension
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been one of the most active teams in pursuing free agents this offseason. The Dodgers signed Blake Snell to a $182 million five-year deal. Many have questioned the franchise for going all out with such a huge sum. A few days later, they offered Tommy Edman a $74 million five-year contract extension.
Edman deserved to get an extension after his incredible performance with the team, especially in the playoffs. However, it turns out there is deferred money in Edman’s contract extension, which means the team will be able to spread out the payroll costs. While it all seems good right now, MLB fans think that this would be a problem for the Dodgers in the future.
Here’s a look at some of the fan reactions on X.
“At this point the Dodgers are close to a billion in deferred pay so Maybe Dodgers players should stop agreeing to money deferrals. In 30 years when the money comes due the Dodgers will file for bankruptcy and the players will learn that they got played,” one fan wrote.
“They could keep deferring money but eventually it is going to catch up to them. Their future payroll might be under $100 million. Problem Is that it’s not in the near future,” one fan responded.
“How does this not hurt the Dodgers in the future?” asked one fan.
