Max Scherzer – Washington Nationals, $50 Million Net Worth
Let’s be honest: Max Scherzer’s contract with the Nationals has been the best free-agent pitcher pickup for the money. According to baseball math site FanGraphs’ calculation, the pitcher has already earned an extra $50 million on top of the $120 million deal he initially signed, with two years left on the deal! That’s right.
In fact, that $50 million is the highest surplus a pitcher has ever earned, in the history of baseball. Even without all the bonuses, Scherzer’s yearly salary comes in at $35.9 million, making him one of the highest-earning athletes in the world. What an accomplishment!
