Had to look it up to remind myself:
METS SIGN FOSTER TO FIVE-YEAR, $10 MILLION CONTRACT
By JAMES TUITE
Published: February 11, 1982
George Foster, one of the major leagues' best power hitters, signed a five-year Met contract yesterday worth at least $10 million, an agreement that makes his average annual pay the second-highest in baseball. Only Dave Winfield, whose complicated contract with the Yankees includes cost-of-living escalator clauses that bring his 10-year deal to a projected total of $22.5 million, earns more in the course of a season.
I can safely say that the Winfield deal worked out better. Amazing how inflation has enriched MLB players. Cespedes gets 11 times more money for a year less.
