June 12, 200520 yr How long do you guys think arod will be the highest paid player? Who would replace him? That title seemed to change a lot over the years. Since 2000 it has been arod hands down. I think He will be the highest paid player all 10 years orf his contract. http://espn.go.com/mlb/s/mlbsalary.html thats an interesting list to show how much that title has changed. But stayed at one guy since 2000.
June 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) Pujols might get $27 million, but I don't know if it will be from StL. He'd be about the only one that would be close to worth it, and even then, he doesn't play nearly as demanding a position as ARod did either.

June 12, 200520 yr There has GOT to be a ceiling on salaries down the line. Even an upper deck seat could be $50+ some day. Then, very few people will be able to go to games.

Pujols signed a 7 year $100 million contract last year. I don't know the per year specifics....but the per year would average to about $14 million.
June 12, 200520 yr I don't think anyone will pass ARod's salary anytime soon. That year was just plain crazy for signing players.

That year was just plain crazy for signing players. only possible way I see it happening is if the Red Sox, Yankees, Mets and another high revenue/payroll team all set their sights on a #1 starter that hits the FA market, and even then, I only see like a back-loaded last year of that deal being more than A-Rod. I think it would take a rare exception, I'm pretty sure no player who has ever signed a 100m+ contract has won the world series
