Yordano Ventura's estate has not been paid his guaranteed contract
Just over two years ago, Kansas City and the baseball world were stunned by the tragic news of the death of young pitcher Yordano Ventura in a car accident in the Dominican Republic.
Sorry, he didn’t fulfill his contract, besides, the royals already gave his momma all the money they’re gonna give her
ReplyDeleteThey need to contact the King or the Jackson families.
ReplyDeleteThey're expert at shakedowns and living large.
Maybe even get some advice from the 18th and Vine gang.
It's too bad what happened, but continuing to try to cash in makes it all that much worse.
My guess is there is a stipulation in the contract regarding the death of the player, and/or the demise of the baseball club thru bankruptcy regarding payouts. That is why god, in all of his infinite wisdom or a moment of insanity, created lawyers.
ReplyDelete^^^And most likely a provision addressing inability of the player to perform at major league level, i.e. he has to make the roster.
ReplyDeleteSounds like his life was a mess. I am glad his daughter is a trust millionaire, I just hope that whoever is her guardian does not pilfer it all.
Shes already got 12 mil in life insurance. Sorry familia, the gravy train is over

Wow, no cliche left unwritten!
That's all she wrote?
ReplyDeleteThis is far from over. I don't foresee the estate getting $0 but I also don't see them getting the full amount.
