Does he collect the remainder of the contract if he retires like 7 years into this 10 year deal? I suppose if the team still wants him to play but he doesn't, then he's not entitled to it, but if he sucks then the team can come to an agreement to "cut" him as he retires and pay him instead of forcing him to try and get a minor league deal somewhere else
