Apparently he'll get $6 million per homer hit that ties Mays, Ruth, Aaron and Bonds and again if he breaks Bonds' record. What's interesting is that the MLB Players' Association doesn't allow these kinds of 'pay per performance' deals, so to bypass it they will have him sign balls and apparently do autograph sessions (where he'll supposedly be paid at a rate of $3 million an hour for 2 hours or something like that).
So there you have it, players are no longer going to play the sport as a team unit with a goal of winning the World Series, but rather as individuals trying to break records.
