The Marlins and outfielder Giancarlo Stanton are in agreement on a 13-year, $325MM contract extension that will set the benchmark as the new largest contract in the history of professional sports, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman reports. While the deal hasn’t yet been made official, Heyman reports that a press conference should be held later this week and “there is a clear understanding the deal will be finalized.” Stanton is a client of the Wasserman Media Group’s Joel Wolfe.
This got me thinking about Carlos Delgado's deal with the Marlins way back when: it was something like a 4 Y $50mil deal, but the first year was for $4mil. Then the Marlins traded Delgado to the Mets. Imagine if Stanton has 1 year of $4mil then 12 Y, 321mil.
