Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jason Grilli has pitched in the big leagues since 2000. His father, Steve, is a former MLB pitcher who played parts of four years with the Detroit Tigers (1975-1977) and the Blue Jays (1979). He finished his career with the Baltimore Orioles Triple-A affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings in 1981.
Whenever the younger Grilli retires, the 40-year old will receive a pension payment whereas his father has yet to qualify for one. The elder Grilli will only receive an annual nonqualified retirement payment of $5,625, and that’s before taxes are taken out.
