The Los Angeles Dodgers have found another way to revolutionize and modernize the game of baseball, and it has nothing to do with on-field play.
L.A. is known for their huge spending on deserving talent recently, but many fans wonder how the Dodgers are able to consistently do this, and effectively pay players while not wrecking the financials of the organization.
The way the Dodgers have done this, as one might hear from upset fans of the 29 other teams in MLB, is deferred money.
Essentially, a large portion of the salary isn’t paid out until a later date, while the player instead gets a smaller annual salary before the time comes for their larger lump sum payment.
