I know this is a bit naive but do they have a salary cap and if so why bother ?

Re: Gian Carlo Stanton

Thats $25m a year or $64k per day.

Thats not per working day, that's each of the 365 days of the year.

Imagine putting your head on the pillow on a Sunday night knowing you earn't $64k that day.

I wouldn't be able to sleep because of the pay cut.

Athletes have become one man corporations. Each one must have so many people making a living off them.

If his managers fee isn't capped, 5% to the managers is $3,200 a day for 13 years... I've got to get accreditation from the AFLPA to start a new career.

And the rest of the employees. As he lays on his pillow and thinks of the 64k + merchandise + endorsements - $3200 management fees that $64 probably pays the salary and benefits of the guy who fluffs his pillow and turns the lamp off.

Do you think Tom Boyd needs a pillow fluffer and lamp turner offer? Sounds like a good gig, although the hours could vary I guess. The grass is always greener.
