Per person for winning? Good news. Just saw Kyle Tucker signed a new contract with Dodgers for $240 million for l4 years! And he isn’t even THE star of the team!

Yeah but if Kyle Tucker doesn’t show up for a game because he didn’t feel like playing that day or wanted to get home early he gets fined so there are tradeoffs.
