Stephen Strasburg – Washington Nationals, $80 Million Net Worth
The Boston Globe
After the World Series, Stephen Strasburg decided to opt-out of his prior seven-year, $175 million contracts with the Nationals that took him through the end of the ’23 season. He chose to stay in D.C., however, singing a new deal with the team. While there are deferrals involved, Strasburg will still make $35 million a year. It seems he just wanted more control over his future.
When Strasburg signed the deal, it became the largest contract in pitching history, by both total value and average annual value. After injury limitations stopped him from playing at the beginning of 2019, Strasburg threw 209 innings in 2019 and received votes for the Cy Young and MVP. We can’t wait to see what he does next!
