Money in Baseball

The amount of money professional athletes make is extremely shocking sometimes! Baseball contracts through history have been the biggest because they have the most long term deals.  Deals that last as long as 10 years.

Alex Rodriguez is the highest paid professional baseball player at the moment. His contract is 10 years 275 million dollars. 27 million per year for the next 10 years! Which also equates to more than 1 million per game. This is not including endorsements or other sources of income.








Another huge money contract in baseball is for Albert Pujols. He is making 240 million over the next 10 years. 24 million each year.
