    • Max Scherzer. Max Scherzer has consistently captured the baseball world's attention with his high-profile contracts. His landmark seven-year, $210 million agreement with the Washington Nationals in 2015 set a new standard for free-agent pitchers at the time.
    • Juan Soto. Juan Soto's continuity with the San Diego Padres is uncertain and the possibility of a trade in the upcoming offseason looking increasingly likely.
    • Gerrit Cole. Gerrit Cole, the New York Yankees' ace, is a finalist for this year's AL Cy Young Award. His formidable nine-year, $324 million contract, negotiated by none other than Boras, holds the distinction of being the largest ever for an MLB pitcher.
  1. Nov 17, 2022 · While Boras represents 106 clients, his five largest active contracts alone add up to $1.47 billion, which would be enough to land him behind only Schwartz in Forbes’ 2022 agent ranking with...

    Four years, $40 million Best season: 2003- 137 wRC+, 4.7 WAR Total WAR: 11.3 Pudge was the total package during his time as a Texas Ranger. From 1997-2002, only 12 position players were more valuable, and only Mike Piazzapaced him as a catcher. In 1999, he won the American League MVP, producing a 125 wRC+, and setting career highs with 35 home runs...

    Eight years, $180 million Best season: 2009- 142 wRC+, 5.2 WAR Total WAR: 18.1 When Teixeira became the highest paid first baseman in the game, he was certainly one of the best first baseman in the game. In his six seasons prior to free agency (2003-08), only Lance Berkman and Albert Pujolswere more valuable. The last two years of that span were es...

    Five Years, $151 million Best season: TBD Total WAR: TBD When Altuve emerged as the everyday second baseman for the Houston Astros in 2012, the team saw an opportunity to lock up its young star, signing him to a four-year deal buying him out his arbitration years, guaranteeing him $12 million. Even before he cemented himself into the game’s elite, ...

    10 years, $252 million Best season: 2002- 158 wRC+, 10.0 WAR Total WAR: 56.1 Let me first acknowledge the fact that the third baseman should come before the shortstop if this list followed baseball’s position numbers, but for the list to make both logical and chronological sense, I’ve opted to go this route instead. A-Rod was third only to Barry Bo...

    10 years, $275 million Best season: 2008- 152 wRC+, 5.8 WAR Total WAR: 22.3 When he opted out of his original deal and reached free agency, A-Rod intended to stay with the Yankees. The deal was criticized for obvious reasons, mainly that he was now entering his age-32 season, meaning 10 more years would carry him into his age-41 campaign. The deal ...

    Seven years, $126 million Best season: 2014- 141 wRC+, 5.3 WAR Total WAR: 14.3 The late 2000s and early 2010s may have been the best time to be a free agent in baseball history. Many teams still hadn’t embraced a sabermetric economic model in their front offices, and players were still thought to be entering their prime in their early 30s. Perhaps ...

    Seven years, $153 million Best season: 2014- 109 wRC+, 3.5 WAR Total WAR: 7.9 (two years remaining) Ellsbury should’ve won the MVP in 2011. In his Brady Anderson-esque year, he set career highs in home runs (32), RBIs (105), runs scored (115), and wRC+ (150), all the while playing great defense in center field, pacing the league with 9.4 WAR. To th...

    13 years, $330 million Best season: TBD Total WAR: TBD Since the age of 15 (and possibly younger), Harper has been in the public eye. Whether it was getting on the cover of Sports Illustrated, hitting 500-foot bombs in major league stadiums, or torching collegiate pitching (with a wooden bat) in what should’ve been his junior year of high school. O...

    Nine years, $214 million Best season: 2012- 153 wRC+, 5.0 WAR Total WAR: 7.4 Right after Boras’ record-setting arbitration settlement worth $15.5 million, he made Fielder the fourth highest paid player in baseball the following year, getting him a surprising deal nine years in length. It didn’t seem like a bad idea at the time — Fielder had just co...

    Seven years, $210 million Best season: 2018- 2.53 ERA, 2.54 FIP, 7.2 WAR Total WAR: 28.7 (Three years remaining) In today’s game, the megadeal for a pitcher in his 30s has become an elusive one. As I’m writing this, Dallas Keuchel remains unemployed. Had Scherzer himself reached free agency after the likes of David Price and Zack Greinke(both of wh...
