Pujols Guaranteed $240MM.

I like the sound of the structured contract better.

I'm not sure how this adds up to $254MM, but what's a few million among friends?

Yeah, not sure where $254 came from.

12, 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 = $240

Perhaps the 3,000 hit and 763 home run incentives ratchet it up to $254.

There is also ~$10MM coming his way after the contract where he’ll remain employed by the organization in some manner post-retirement… Perhaps this money + milestone incentives make up the other $14MM?

I dunno, beats me.

Yes, incentives are not guarenteed

Total value will be greater than total guaranteed value.

The rumors I've been hearing are that the extra $14M is part of the 10-year personal services part of his contract.

Those are just rumors though. With a guy like Pujols, determining all the minor details in his contract can take a long time to process. Eventually something will come out about where that money is coming from. It could just be a signing bonus. Who knows?
