You mean his signing bonus is prorated over 5 years and he doesn't actually get it when he signs?

As Keewart mentioned, it might be a case/team basis.  I took this pretty much directly from son's contract.  His signing bonus is negotiated, can be all up front, part in year 1 & 2, part in 1,2,3, etc.  Lets say as an example, $1mil signing bonus, all up front (when he signs contract).  Year 2 he hates baseball and leaves, thus he played 2/5 years.  He will be required to give back $600K and keep $400K (2 years worth).  Clause also up to modification if team will require him to pay it back or not.
