With two of the biggest MLB contracts of all-time being signed this week during free agency, the list of the top 10 highest-paid baseball players of all time is now made up entirely of current players.
Angels center fielder Mike Trout’s contract he signed in 2019 still blows the other contracts out of the water as he earns $61.5 million more than Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts, who ranks second on the list.
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge officially took the third spot on Wednesday when he signed a nine-year, $360 million contract with the Yankees. This makes his contract the biggest a free agent has earned in MLB history, as the two deals ahead of him were extensions signed when Trout and Betts were still under contract with their respective teams.
