Dont they have to pay taxes where each game is played? Still significant bc half of his games are at home tho

games played in states with no state income tax
Home - 81
Rangers - 19
Rays - 3

so 103/162 of his game checks will be without state taxes, pretty nice

Plus 9 in Seattle

ETA: some of those 19 against the Rangers would be part of the 81 home games

Right, still significant but not as significant as "no state taxes". Also several games in Cali

Yup. Those deals are usually pretty small when compared the what b-ball players get.

This locks in Bregman for the next 6 years which matches up with Altuve. I think this move very clearing means ownership believes in Bregman over Correa even though I think Carlos is going to have an MVP type season. I would be shocked to see him move back to SS down the line.
