The Best Paragraph I've Read: Big League Advance uses a proprietary algorithm to project the performance and earning potential of players, in order to establish the set amount it would be willing to pay a player in exchange for each percentage point of future major league earnings that player is willing to give up.  For instance, if Big League Advance offers a minor leaguer 100,000 up front for 1% of his earnings, that player can then decide to accept 500,000 in exchange for 5% or 1 million for 10%.  A player valued as highly as Mr. Tatis could receive a couple million dollars from Big League Advance. This paragraph comes from the Wall Street Journal.  The article is titled: "An Investment Fund Mines the Diamond."  The article is written by Jared Diamond.  You can read the article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/fernando-tatis-jr-340-million-investment-fund-padres-11613732572 Zac and Don talk about who is getting the best deal.  Besides talking about baseball players signing away part of their big league contract they also talk about the following ideas from the following articles: Bloomberg Sneakerheads Have Turned Jordans and Yeezys Into a Bona Fide Asset Class https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-sneaker-investment/ The Athletic NBA Top Shot is no joke.
