1) $43 Million...Max Scherzer....Mets
2) $43 Million...Justin Verlander...Mets
3) $40 Million...Aaron Judge...Yankees
4) $37 Million...Jacob de Grom...Rangers
5) $36 Million...Gerrit Cole...Yankees
In the top five, only Aaron Judge is not a pitcher and only
Jacob de Grom does not play in New York City. These salaries
are extremely high and none of these players are now members
of the defending World Series Champs, the Houston Astros.
