Baseball’s Highest-Paid Players 2023: Shohei Ohtani's MLB-Record Total Lands Him At No. 1 by JustBirny
in 2022 after a contentious work stoppage last spring threatened the season. “Historically, spending goes up immediately after a new CBA is put into place,” Matt Ricatto, co-head of CAA Baseball, said in an email. “This, coupled with the fact that there are several owners who are 100% all-in to win right now, helped drive this increase the most.”
MLB might have avoided that crisis, but another is unfolding. The recent bankruptcy filing of Diamond Sports Group, which owns the local media rights of 14 MLB teams, has left teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres, vulnerable to the loss of a crucial revenue stream. Compounding the matter is Warner Bros.
“The idea of [a market like] Cleveland extending its players to a Julio Rodriguez-type deal I think is probably off the table if it wasn’t already off the table,” he says. “There might be some in the middle class that are not necessarily open to longer-term extensions until there's stability with this issue but again, they probably previously weren't exactly excited about those ideas anyways.
For now, many have their eyes set on the coming offseason and the impending free agency of Ohtani. It’s unclear if he’ll re-sign with the Angels and recently toldif his representatives have had any conversations with his club about a potential deal. Ohtani’s agent declined to comment on the matter. Whatever club he does end up with next season is expected to pay a king’s ransom. Trout currently owns MLB’s largest contract by total value at $426.5 million.
“There is going to be a significant return on whoever signs him,” Koras says. “I'm sure that teams are going to be willing to pay a significant premium in a way that may not necessarily make baseball sense, but will make business sense.”
