But even if they could, for the sake of argument, it is pointless and not worth their efforts. Even if they could arb 2% per year on this deal (and they can't), that's a whopping $180k/yr before fees and before taxes.

Organizational payroll is well over $100M/yr

So no, I doubt they "love" it.
The Dodgers have literally done this to the tune of 1 billion and there are articles about the savings. 2% on a billion is $20 million

They can because they can secure a better guaranteed ROI then the rate they use to calculate currently value so in todays $ they segregate less then they would have to pay the athlete .

And you don’t think owners care about a “whopping $180k for free ?

You really are grasping now - owners don’t care about free $$
