Top 15 Highest-paid MLB players in 2019, Scherzer, Strasburg on Top List.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, the reigning AL MVP, has opted to go year-by-year and will earn $20 million this year, with two years left before his free agency.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went the safe route and signed a six-year, $32.5 million contract extension after his first year with Arizona, only to watch Chris Davis to sign a seven-year, $161 million contract with Baltimore three years later.
Aaron Judge may be the biggest star on the largest stage in baseball and the New York Yankees’ top box-office draw since Derek Jeter.
He also happens to be one of the team's lowest-paid players.
Judge will earn $684,300 this season, or about $300,000 less than Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will earn for each start
If Judge is going to sign a long-term extension, he probably wants to follow the model set by Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout. He signed a six-year, $144.5 million extension on March 29, 2014 after two years and 70 days of major-league service. It covered all of his arbitration and three free-agent years. Judge has two years and 51 days of service time, and is eligible for arbitration after this season.
