FIRE TERRY COLLINS!!!

It’s payday for Bobby Bonilla.

Back near the end of Bonilla’s playing days, the Mets agreed to pay him $1,193,248.20 annually on July 1 for 25 years, beginning in 2011.

Bonilla was owed $5.9 million when the Mets agreed to that buyout.

The agreement called for deferred payments at an 8 percent annual interest rate. At the time, Mets ownership did not mind that interest rate because their investments with Bernie Madoff were returning comfortably more than that figure.

Meanwhile, believe it or not, the Mets annually make a second payment to Bonilla, too.

CBSSports.com reported last year that Bonilla receives a separate payment for 25 years, which is the shared responsibility of the Mets and Baltimore Orioles and runs through 2028. The Mets reportedly are required to pay slightly more than half of the annual $500,000 sum, which stems from Bonilla’s original tour of duty with the Mets.

• With internet polls set to close on Thursday at 11:59 p.m., David Wright continues to lose ground in All-Star balloting. The final intermediate tally at third base for the National League:

Ramirez

Wright
Aramis Ramirez, Brewers, 1,790,777
Wright, Mets, 1,555,717
Pablo Sandoval, Giants, 1,406,026
Matt Carpenter, Cardinals, 1,323,021
Todd Frazier, Reds, 1,224,931

No other Mets player appears at the top five in at his position (or top 15 in the outfield).

The All-Star squads will be announced on ESPN on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET.


FFS..there is no way Wright should be starting anyhow....
....and imho, shouldn't even get named as a reserve either.
