As you've probably heard a time or 10, the Mets are paying Bobby Bonilla more tban a million dollars a year untill 2035.
It sounds crazy, yes but the deal was part of a deferref-payment plan the club agreed to in an effort to avoid paying Bonilla's final-year salary of $5.9 million way back in 2000. Bonilla might be the most well-known example of "dead money" in baseball (paying money to players no longer on the roster) but it's a relatively common practice.
