The top paid MLB players in 2018


[post_page_title]Jake Arrieta – $30 million[/post_page_title]
Jake Arrieta is making $30 million a year and he’s only the third-best paid pitcher in the league. Which should tell you how valuable pitching is nowadays and what position two of the three players left on this list play. Arrieta signed a three-year, $75 million contract with the Phillies just this season, and will make the bulk of the money in 2018. In 2019 Arrieta will earn a $25 million paycheck, the following year down to $20 million. Those aren’t bad pay days either, especially when you’ve already earned $63 million for your career.
