Don't Fret, Alex Rodriguez Isn't THAT Overpaid Anymore


Alex Rodriguez is overpaid that is the understatement of the century, especially when trying to consider the production you will get for your $22 million in 2015, but the good news is the Yankees thought ahead. A Rod's deal was heavily front loaded leaving him getting paid around $10 million less in 2015 then he was at the peak of the contract (with incentives and such). With all the money coming into the game right now 17 players are making more or the same as Rodriguez in 2015 so don't fret Yankees fans, it could be worse.


  1. Clayton Kershaw - $32,571,428
  2. Justin Verlander - $28 million
  3. Josh Hamilton - $25.4 million
  4. Cliff Lee - $25 million
  5. Ryan Howard - $25 million
  6. Zack Greinke - $25 million
  7. Felix Hernandez - $24,857,142
  8. Albert Pujols - $24 million
  9. Prince Fielder - $24 million
  10. Robinson Cano - $24 million
  11. Cole Hamels - $23.5 million
  12. Mark Teixeira - $23.125 million
  13. CC Sabathia - $23 million
  14. Joe Mauer - $23 million
  15. Miguel Cabrera - $22 million
  16. Jose Reyes - $22 million
  17. Masahiro Tanaka - $22 million
  18. Alex Rodriguez  - $22 million
It sucks to be the Philadelphia Phillies right now with Lee, Howard and Hamels eating up that much salary especially with two of them coming off injuries or under performing seasons. The Yankees have four that made the list including Rodriguez so I guess it sucks to be us too.
