We knew one thing was for certain: Aaron Judge was going to get PAID this offseason.
And now, we know just how much: Per reports, he’s getting a nine-year deal worth $360 million (!!) to stay with the New York Yankees.
So where will he end up on the list of the biggest Major League contracts by pure value?
We now know. We’re listing the 20 highest-paid players in the history of the majors, and so many of these contracts are still active (remember when we were shocked about how much money Alex Rodriguez made?).
So here’s a rundown, sorted by full contract value, and we’ll update this as the MLB offseason continues (all figures from Spotrac):
