$32 million And, unless he retires, he will get $143 million over the next six years; even if he continues to hit 16 or fewer home runs each of those years.
He will if he doesn't get injured. That's why the Yankees signed him for 10 years.--------------------------It doesn't look that way. Alex Rodriguez was suspended for the entire 2014 season, over accusations of taking PED's, and he will turn 39 on July 27th. Bottom line, he's running out of time.

The highest paid baseball player in the MLB is the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod signed a $252 million ten year deal with the Texas Rangers after the 2000 season. Seven years later, after collecting almost $200 million of that contract, he opted out of the last 3 years and signed a new $275 million deal. The new deal has incentives that could take that deal over $300 million.
Ferguson has been there for over 23 years.
