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.
