I don’t think you’re getting it. Even though LA only pays $2 million per year for 10 years, with the rest deferred, when it comes to the luxury tax, they are being assessed $46 million per year, not $2 million.Oh Ok, gotcha; they're not cheating the system by paying the gross national product of Venezuela in salaries, they just found a loophole in the system in order to do it.
So the Yankees and Red Sox paid out the ass for luxury tax because they weren't smart enough to find the loophole like the Wyle E Coyote Super Genius Dodgers did.
Got it, makes perfect sense, why pay a luxury tax like other teams do when you can get around it by using a loophole that no other teams were smart enough to figure out.
No wonder why they're the champs.
Secondly, other teams do deferred comp deals and it’s expressly permitted by the CBA.
