Back in 1975, off the top of my head, Catfish Hunter ended his contract negotiations with Charlie Finley and the Oakland A’s when he signed a 3 year, $3.5M, with $1M up front to pitch for Steinbrenner and his Yankees.
Today Shohei Ohtani signed a 10 year, $700M contract to move across town and pitch (next year) and hit home runs (starting this year) with the Dodgers!
That’s some damn serious money!
