Contract breakdown: Harper, Machado, Arenado are set for life
Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, and Nolan Arenado are officially filthy rich. The three superstars agreed to monster deals varying from eight to 13 years in length and $260 million to $330 million in value.
Fun Fact: Each one of them could buy a new Ferrari every week for the duration of their new contracts. More of a travel type? OK, they could each go on a week-long trip to Paris 21 to 25 times for just a single at-bat. Still not impressed? Hold your breath for one minute. The trio just made $166 collectively in that time.
The following breakdown is based on 2018 numbers, so the figures could be even more absurd if these players miss any time due to injuries or underperformance. (You might want to have a tissue box handy - or perhaps a punching bag - while going through these figures.)
