I was reading Jennifer Langosch's post today about Erik Bedard's incentives in his contract and I couldn't help but laugh. Apparently Bedard gets an extra $100,000 if he wins the World Series MVP award. He gets an additional $25,000 for winning the MVP award of either of the playoff series before the World Series.
I understand you never want to show complete distrust in your team, but Bedard had to kind of chuckle at the Pirates offering him more money if he's the best player in the World Series this year while in a Pirates uniform. Maybe it's just me, but the words "Pirates" and "World Series" just don't go together... okay, no, that's definitely not just me.
Here's hoping Bedard gets that extra 100K.
