Highest Contract you've ever seen.
 

Stephen Strasburg just signed a 9 year contract for $342 million earning $38 million a year in my game. Just wondering what were some of the largest contracts you've seen

Which team paid him that?

I'll bet his contract it was the Yankees

Surprisingly, it the the Indians

I'm playing a fictional league with 1972 financial settings, so the highest I've seen was 6 year for close to 2 million.

Coming off a season where he hit .346/47hrs/136RBI/37SB and a gold glove, Mike Trout signed a 7 year, $280 million contract with the Diamondbacks.

I went to extend Trout during the season and he was demanding 9 years with an average salary of $47.5 million, totaling $427,500,000. I lol'd and re-signed him in the offseason for about half of that.

That is usually the case with free agents. I wish it was a little more realistic though.

Like Corey Hart was coming off a season for me on the Brewers where he only made it to 83 games, batted .276/13hrs/1.1WAR and he was asking for a 7yr/140mm and got insulted when I offered him half of that.

It shouldn't be that large of a gap unless the player's personality had a large greed rating.

Interesting read there.

David Eckstein signed a deal that included a $47.5M vesting option if he played in like 120 games. Missed 3/4 of the season and wound up batting .400 in the games he did play. Would have been worth it if he'd played a full season, probably.

A fictional player named Nick Walker signed a 5-year, $180 million deal with the Cubs, following seasons with 7.3, 6.2, 8.8, then 3.5 WAR with the Rockies. He is making $43 million in the last year of his deal in 2023.

Even my crazy money deals tend to be reasonable in length, I have noticed. The Pujols deal is still the longest/richest on the books as of 2021 in my league. 5-years isn't bad even at insane dollars, although the Cubs got the 3.5 WAR guy instead of the 6 WAR guy, but I figure that was some kind of Cubs Code in play.

Jose Fernandez
 

I have reached 2019 season and Jose Fernandez signed a 10 year, $490 million deal with the SF Giants
