The Wilpon family that owned the Mets was in big with Madoff, and thought that an annuitized deferral at 5% interest would net them cash because Madoff was promising a 10% annual return. Still, he makes more than deGrom and Harvey.

Anyway, the rumor is that Bonilla is perpetually out of money and spends most of what he gets each year. If he had saved one of those checks in 2000 when the DJIA was around 8,000, he'd have doubled his money by now, at least.

Look on the bright side: he didn't hire Lenny Dykstra as his broker.
