Gerald Laird to get $1.5 million a year from the Braves
Craig Calcaterra Nov 20, 2012, 8:22 AM EST
We learned of the deal last Thursday, but now we know the money: Gerald Laird
will get $3 million for his two years with the Braves. There are incentives
which could get him an extra $750K.
Those incentives are based on games started. Worth noting that if Laird
earns all of his incentive money it will mean that Brian McCann didn’t make
it back from his shoulder surgery which means paying Laird three quarters of
a million is the least of their problems.
I know this isn’t the most newsworthy post ever, so I’ll add something to
it: my son just said “Dad, was there an actor named Michael Jordan?” I’ve
been a parent for nearly nine years, but I’m still not quite sure what to do
with questions like that.
