https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29388441/bobby-bonilla-day-why-mets-pay-119-million-today-every-july-1

tl;dr - Mets cut a player in 2000 and instead of paying him the $5.9m he was owed, they decided to pay him $1.2m for 25 years at 8% interest because they had an account associated with the Madoff Ponzi scheme.

Definitely more than most. The article doesn't really break it down, it just looks at some notable players. Median MLB salary was about $1.4M last year, which would pro-rate to a little over $500k.

Pretty sure the highest paid player this year will be Prince Fielder, who medically retired a couple years ago, so most of his contract is paid by insurance (Im guessing).
