Top 1 place to live

It's a tax thing.

Since baseball players get paid based on where they are during the 6 months of the season, you could spend all offseason in San Diego and not pay any California income tax, then play during the season in some place with a lower tax bracket. And that's what a lot of them do.

Hm. Makes sense I guess.

That's why CC Sabathia's deal was negotiated so that he'd be paid weekly or bi-weekly. He's not in NY State for half of the season (I don't know where he lives but it's probably got a lower top tax bracket that NY), so he gets paid where he claims residency and saves himself a bundle of cash.
