Comparing Barroca to Delgado is apples to oranges. Barroca is declining. Delgado is not. Barroca was owed around $60M. Delgado is not. I would agree that JPS got very little in return, but he got out from under a sinking ship. He got a lot of salary relief at the right time (while Barroca was hurt) before he dropped even more. Barroca is starting to take some bigger hits on his drops and might not last through his contract.
