The top paid MLB players in 2018

[post_page_title]Clayton Kershaw – $35.5 million[/post_page_title]
Clayton Kershaw has three Cy Young awards, an MVP, Gold Glove, Triple Crown and five ERA titles. So it’s no surprise that the best pitcher in baseball is also the highest paid player in baseball. He’s making $35.5 million this season alone, as part of seven-year, $215 million contract with the Dodgers. He’s due to make $238 million by the end of his current contract, and he’s likely to sign another once this current one expires (but with who?).
