Rep Power: 71 | Re: MLB Off-Season moves and discussion that'd actually be pretty funny seeing as I'd wager the asking price for Tejada would have dropped significantly if his name does appear on the list. Fucking Astros couldn't wait 24 hours? | |

Rep Power: 37 | Re: MLB Off-Season moves and discussion Hmmm...I just saw a breakdown of A-Rod's new contract, and I thought it was pretty interesting: 2008: $29M 2009: $33M 2010: $33M 2011: $32M 2012: $30M 2013: $29M 2014: $28M 2015: $21M 2016: $20M 2017: $20M So, basically, he'll be paid like the best player in baseball for the next 3 years, then his salary will decrease, slowly at first, and then more dramatically in the latter part of the contract, when he reaches his late thirties. It seems like almost all sports contracts are "back-loaded", in that the salary starts small, and gets progressively larger, so the highest annual salary is in the last year of the contract. But in this case, A-Rod will be getting paid according to his approximate contributions to the team...as his talent diminishes with age, so will his salary. Now, you might be saying "Well, he'll still be making $20 million in the last year of his contract, that's not too shabby". Well no, it's not shabby at all. But consider that that is 10 years in the future. When you take inflation and growth in MLB salaries into account, that $20 million looks liek a lot less. In the years 1995-2006 (the post-strike years), MLB salaries rose at an annual rate of 4.8%. That means that if salaries keep rising at that rate, A-Rod's $20 million in 2017 will be the quivalent of $12.5 million today, which is quite reasonable Last edited by Dr. Giganto; 12-13-2007 at 03:48 PM. | |

Rep Power: 37 | Re: MLB Off-Season moves and discussion Just to take it a step further, if you "discount" each year's salary by the average growth in salaries, these are the annual salaries: 2008: $27.665M 2009: $30.031M 2010: $28.648M 2011: $26.500M 2012: $23.700M 2013: $21.855M 2014: $20.130M 2015: $14.402M 2016: $13.084M 2017: $12.482M Bringing the total value of the contract in "today's dollars" to $218.496M | |
