I saw a finance guy do the math out on it and for responsible investors
deferring all that money for all these years is a poor decision due to the time value of money. For people without fiscal discipline, it makes a lot more since and is much more helpful.

I’d be curious to see that. I read his payment is effectively an 8% annual
return on deferred money. Stock market over the last 25 years is around 10% annual return assuming you reinvest all dividends. If you assume Mets’ ownership has an almost zero risk of default, the risk-adjusted payment annual return doesn’t sound that bad. Not saying the finance guy is wrong but I’d be curious how he adjusts for “risk”. Also not sure if there are any tax benefits vs taking it all up front? I assume he now lives in a tax friendly state like Florida.
