The New York Mets pay money to a player named Bobby Bonilla every year. This is called delayed pay.

紐約大都會隊每年都會支付一名叫 Bobby Bonilla 的球員金錢。這被稱為延遲支付。

In 2000, the Mets and Bobby Bonilla made a deal. The team did not pay him all the money at once. Instead, they pay him every year until 2035. Now, the team pays him almost 30 million dollars in total.

在 2000 年，大都會隊與 Bobby Bonilla 達成了一項協議。球隊並沒有一次將所有款項支付給他，而是每年支付，直到 2035 年。現在，球隊總共支付給他近 3,000 萬美元。

Other teams do this too. For example, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a deal with Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani gets a small salary now. He will get a lot of money after 2034. This helps the team save money today.

其他球隊也採取這種做法。例如，洛杉磯道奇隊與大谷翔平有一項協議。大谷目前的薪水很低，但在 2034 年之後將會獲得大量款項。這有助於球隊在目前省下資金。

Now, the team owners want to stop these deals in 2027. They want all teams to have the same rules. But the players want to keep these deals. They say it is their right to choose when they get paid.

現在，球隊老闆希望在 2027 年停止這類協議。他們希望所有球隊都遵循相同的規則。但球員希望保留這些協議。他們表示選擇何時領取薪酬是他們的權利。

The Mets must still pay Bobby Bonilla. But the league and the players must decide if other players can do this in the future.

大都會隊必須繼續支付 Bobby Bonilla 薪資。但聯盟與球員必須決定未來是否允許其他球員採取這種做法。
