Trout and Judge, who have the highest contract value other than Otani, have the least experience in the world.
The 10-year, $700 million (approximately 99.6 billion yen) contract that pitcher Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers is not only the largest contract in MLB history, but also the largest in North American sports history. In recent years, there have been a number of large, long-term contracts in MLB, but are these players shining as the best in the world?

The highest sums excluding Ohtani are the nine-year contract that outfielder Aaron Judge signed with the Yankees in December 2022 and the $360 million 10-year contract that outfielder Mike Trout signed with the Angels in March 2019. (approximately 51,199.2 million yen). Neither team has the best experience in the world, and the Angels have missed the playoffs for nine straight years.
Other infielders such as Mets infielder Francisco Lindor and Padres infielder Fernando Tatis Jr. have also signed large four-year contracts worth more than $340 million (approximately 48,354,800,000 yen), but the world’s No. I have no experience. Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper also signed a large contract worth 330 million dollars (approximately 46,932.6 million yen) for 13 years in February 2019. He played in the World Series in 2022, but lost to the Astros in tears.
After signing a large contract, the Rangers’ infielder Corey Seager was the sixth player in the world to become the world’s number one player, excluding Ohtani. In December 2021, he signed a 10-year, $325 million (approximately 46,221.5 million yen) contract with the Rangers, who won the World Series this season.
Every year, out of 30 teams, only one team wins the World Series. In addition, many of the large-scale contracts were concluded after 2019, so there is a strong possibility that it will become the world’s number one in the future. On the other hand, it is also true that large contracts put pressure on each team’s payroll.
Otani has an unusual contract in which 97% of the total contract amount, or 680 million dollars (approximately 96.7 billion yen), will be paid in arrears. Will he ever receive the world’s No. 1 ring, which he was unable to achieve with the Angels?
