In the Dallas Morning News, an interesting article on Alex Rodriguez and the value of his contract points out that:
The contract will actually be paid over 20 years, not 10. Because $54 million is deferred, a Wall Street Journal estimate valued the contract at about $165 million, rather than $252 million.
If the Journal did the math correctly, the future Hall-of-Famer might actually be something of a bargain. Thanks to Jim Baker of ESPN.com for pointing out the story.
I'd like to take this opportunity to once again point out that the Dodgers were one pick away from drafting Rodriguez in 1993.
