Best Answer

Derek Sanderson was the first player EVER to sign a million dollar contract, however he didn't have the highest annual salary. The total worth of the contract was the most. For Example, A-Rod signed a 300 million dollar deal in Baseball. If say Manny Ramirez signed a 2 year 65 million dollar deal, Manny would average more per season, while A-Rods total contract was more.

Will the New York Yankees ever trade Derek Jeter?

I do not think the Yankees and Derek Jeter will ever part ways. Derek's contract is up at the end of the 2010 season and the organization will probably work out an extension that will keep Derek here for the rest of his career.
