MLB contracts?? Well the highest paid MLB player is Alex Rodriguez... He signed a 10 year, $252 million deal back in 2001.

 

[budsboys]

i can't believe how much they get paid...its un-necessary, football should have baseballs payrolls

 

[Smith22]

$8 million signing bonus, base salaries of 640,267 in 2006, $1.5 mil in 2007, and $1.75 mil in 2008. Didn't look any further than that.

hahaa, i was gonna call u stupid, cause u were asking about MLB contracts, and now i call myself stupid as i realized, 2 hours later, that you meant Middle Linebacker, and not Major leagues baseball. Man lack of sleep can do wonders to a persons brain

mlb players are the most overpaid athletes on the planet

James gets about $3.6 million per year (about $21.6 million over six years). Among middle linebackers, that puts him just above Akin Ayodele and behind these 12 guys -- Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Al Wilson, Zach Thomas, Dan Morgan, Will Witherspoon, Takeo Spikes, Derek Smith, Edgerton Hartwell, Antonio Pierce, Andra Davis and James Farrior. Considering that some of the better middle linebackers still are under their rookie contracts, I'd say James got about what he should have. If he continues to improve, he'll earn his money.

Man, you should see the extreme beating A-Rod is taking here in NY. I love it!

Thanks Adam,
that was a big help and I agree it looks like he got a fair contract for both sides.
