July 1, 201511 yr Deferred salaries no bonus for Reds When the Reds signed Ken Griffey Jr. to a nine-year, $116.5 million contract in February 2000, it was hailed as a great thing for Cincinnati baseball because Griffey signed for under market value and more than half the money - $57.5 million - would be deferred. The Reds would pay Griffey only $6 million up front each year. The other $6.5 million of his annual salary would be paid from 2009-2024 (his overall salary was higher than $12.5 million in 2000).
July 1, 201511 yr Barry Larkin also has a deferred deal with the Reds. Larkin, Reds agree to extension The extension will keep Larkin, 36, with the Reds through the 2003 season. A little less than one-third of the $27 million will be deferred over 15 years, according to a source familiar with the contract. Larkin, who makes $5.3 million this season, will get $6 million next year.
