Talk:Surgery Should End Bagwell's Career/@comment-101836-20060326213501

I know Bagwell is guaranteed that money anyway. The Astros are trying to get out of giving him the money that he&quot;s scheduled to earn only because he restructured his contract to backload it. What you just said didn&quot;t contradict my other statement. I think you misunderstood me. He restructured his contract in the past so that he would get the money later. Now that he&quot;s injured, the Astros are trying to get out of paying him all that backloaded money that he righfully earned for years. He can get insurance, yes, but it&quot;s not the same amount that the club backloaded for the last 5 years.
