rangercal Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 How long do you guys think arod will be the highest paid player? Who would replace him? That title seemed to change a lot over the years. Since 2000 it has been arod hands down. I think He will be the highest paid player all 10 years orf his contract. http://espn.go.com/mlb/s/mlbsalary.html thats an interesting list to show how much that title has changed. But stayed at one guy since 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Pujols might get $27 million, but I don't know if it will be from StL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be about the only one that would be close to worth it, and even then, he doesn't play nearly as demanding a position as ARod did either.

Pujols is locked up for about the next 10 years. He's not going to make anywhere close to that amount during his peak years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 There has GOT to be a ceiling on salaries down the line. Even an upper deck seat could be $50+ some day. Then, very few people will be able to go to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 03:48 AM) Pujols is locked up for about the next 10 years. He's not going to make anywhere close to that amount during his peak years. Pujols signed a 7 year $100 million contract last year. I don't know the per year specifics....but the per year would average to about $14 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I don't think anyone will pass ARod's salary anytime soon. That year was just plain crazy for signing players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That year was just plain crazy for signing players. only possible way I see it happening is if the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets and another high revenue/payroll team all set their sights on a #1 starter that hits the FA market, and even then, I only see like a back-loaded last year of that deal being more than A-Rod. I think it would take a rare exception, I'm pretty sure no player who has ever signed a 100m+ contract has won the world series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
