The top paid MLB players in 2018

[post_page_title]Giancarlo Stanton – $25 million[/post_page_title]
It was just a couple of years ago that Giancarlo Stanton signed a 13-year, $325 million with the Miami Marlins, shocking the world of baseball, and probably anybody who was close enough to a TV or newspaper to read the headlines. In his first season with the Yankees, after being traded, the slugger is earning $25 million, and his paycheck will only increase from year to year. His contract is back-heavy, meaning he’s making the bulk of his money in the later years of his contract. He’s expected to make $32 million in 2023, and his contract runs through the 2028 season.
