Happy Bobby Bonilla Day: New York Mets pay him $1.19M every July 1​

The calendar has turned to July 1, and that means one thing: It's time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other a Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why? On Tuesday, 62-year-old Bobby Bonilla will collect a check for $1,193,248.20 from the New York Mets, as he has and will every July 1 from 2011 through 2035.

So why does Bonilla get this payday?​

In 2000, the Mets agreed to buy out the remaining $5.9 million on Bonilla's contract.

However, instead of paying Bonilla the $5.9 million at the time, the Mets agreed to make annual payments of nearly $1.2 million for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, including a negotiated 8% interest.

At the time, Mets ownership was invested in a Bernie Madoff account that promised double-digit returns, and the Mets were poised to make a significant profit if the Madoff account delivered -- but that did not work out.

Under new owner Steve Cohen, who mentioned the possibility of celebrating Bonilla at Citi Field annually soon after taking over the team, the Mets have embraced Bonilla's day....

Jae'Sean Tate Signs One-Year, $3 Million Deal to Return to the Houston Rockets​

Jae’Sean Tate has continued to make a name for himself in Houston.

And that will remain the case, as the 29-year-old has signed a one-year, $3 million deal to remain with the Rockets, the only team he has played for since coming to the NBA in 2020.

Tate fought through an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign, averaging a career-low 11.3 minutes per game while dealing with a right ankle impingement, which caused him to only play in 52 games (two starts), including missing all of Houston's first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors. After starting in 135 games during his first two NBA seasons from 2020-22, Tate has played in just 148 games over the last three seasons since then.

Sources: Mavs agree to $13M deal with PG D'Angelo Russell​

Free agent point guard D'Angelo Russell has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Mavs will use the $5.7 million taxpayer midlevel exception to sign Russell, a one-time All-Star who averaged 12.6 points and 5.1 assists per game for the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets last season.

The second season of the deal is a player option, sources said.

Russell is expected to fill Kyrie Irving's spot in the starting lineup while the nine-time All-Star recovers from a torn ACL. The Mavs and Irving are optimistic that he will be able to return early in the 2026 portion of the schedule, at which point Russell could transition to a key reserve role.

Now entering his 11th NBA season, Russell has already earned over $175 million in career salary. He’s approaching $200 million in total earnings—an impressive feat for the former Buckeye star.

SMU beautiful campus, lived nearby for several years. Actually went to more concerts there than football games, during the 'Pony Express' era. Dallas really nice town if you like glass and chrome. Women dress to the nines to go to grocery at 8:00am Saturday. Lots of good things to say about the place. Also bunches of well-heeled alums, who, yeah, can now do openly what they did covertly back in the day of 'Death Penalty'.
