The Los Angeles Dodgers have added significant deferred payment obligations, now exceeding $1 billion to seven players, complicating their future payroll and financial strategy.
Blake Snell's contract includes a $66 million deferred payment stretching to 2046, highlighting the Dodgers' reliance on long-term financial commitments to attract and retain talent.
Tommy Edman's five-year deal with $25 million in deferred payments emphasizes the trend of teams utilizing back-loaded contracts to manage their present payroll.
Both contracts showcase the growing trend of organizations using deferred payments, which allow flexibility in current cash flow while making big investments in players.
