i know (assume) this is a joke, but that'd be an illegal contract (30% rule/guaranteed money/etc). If it's an team option bonus, the player wouldn't go for it, and the league wouldn't approve it (since we wouldn't have enough space in case a cap does come down - 50mill bonus if kept or 30mill to cut him, when we're (probably) projected to be over again next year and there aren't enough people to cut to make up that much money either).
if the cap goes then its the yankees and that's a whole new deal.
