A baseball phenom well before he came to the US from Japan, Shohei Ohtani stunned the sports world with his dual prowess as a pitcher and hitter, earning him a groundbreaking $700 million contract over 10 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers this past weekend. At 29, he redefined the athlete's value in team sports.
5. Aaron Judge: 9-Years/$360 Million
Known for his towering drives and solid outfield play, Aaron Judge agreed to a $360 million contract over nine years to stay in the Bronx in 2022. This came after his record-breaking chase of the AL home run record and an MVP award.
4. MLB LA Mookie Betts - 12 Yrs/$365 Million
A dynamic and versatile player, Mookie Betts signed a $365 million contract extension for 12 years in 2020. Betts was dealt to the Dodgers in a multi-player deal and LA didn't wait long to ink the speedy superstar long-term. His all-around abilities in the game, evident at 27, made him one of the most sought-after players in baseball.
3. MLB LAA Mike Trout - 12 Yrs/$426 Million
Mike Trout was all smiles when he signed his 12-year extension in 2019. The deal has not aged well due to Trout's nagging, ongoing injuries. Couple that with LA's inability to put together an above-.500 season and the Angels might wish they avoided such an extended deal.
