Who is the highest-paid MLB first baseman? Kris Bryant's transition makes him top paid.
Kris Bryant is shifting from the outfield to the corner infield in 2024 − at least for the time being.
After signing a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Colorado Rockies before the 2022 season, Bryant has been hampered by various injuries and played in only 122 games the last two seasons.
Of those 122 games, the former National League MVP has only played first base seven times. The Rockies are hoping the transition to first base will revitalize his career and minimize on the injuries.
Also with that transition, it makes him the highest-paid first baseman heading into the 2024 season.
