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.
“I guess this is just a new norm for them,” another fan replied.
“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.
Dodgers To Offer Tommy Edman A $17 Million Signing Bonus With Deferred Money Included
The Dodges have agreed to offer Tommy Edman A $17 million signing bonus. This also includes the deferred money and a club option for the sixth year. Edman’s contract will start from 2025 to 29.
The Dodgers needed a player like Edman. The franchise signed the slugger at the 2024 trade deadline. His contribution to the team has been widely noticed and his ability to perform defensively has been vital.
The Dodgers have one thing in mind and that is to win. Yet, they have plenty of deferred money on several players. All-Star Shohei Ohtani has deferred payments of $68 million per year that is supposed to be paid out from 2034 to 2043. While it all seems fine at this moment, it can be tough for the team in the future.
The Dodgers are also predicted to sign Teoscar Hernandez and several other players from the free-agent market.
