Star outfielder Mike Trout is on the verge of signing a 12-year contract worth more than $430 million,. The deal comes on the heels of massive contracts for other members of baseball’s elite, with Bryce Harper signing for $330 million, Manny Machado for $300 million and Nolan Arenando at $260 million.
The deals above are deemed by many as four of the seven richest contracts in the history of sports. The others to make the cut are boxer Canelo Alvarez, who is expected to earn $365 million over five years and 11 fights from streaming service DAZN; Giancarlo Stanton, who inked a 13-year, $325 million deal with the Miami Marlins before being dealt to the New York Yankees; and Alex Rodriguez, the only athlete in sports to sign two deals worth more than $250 million.
