Part of a subsequent deal (or related deal, don't remember the details) involved trading him to the Orioles, who became responsible for a portion of his salary, which they then deferred. It's part of the same original contract though, IIRC.

And I know it doesn't show the interest rates, but it does show that the payments he will receive from the Mets total roughly $30M, which is what the article reported.
