AMERICAN LEAGUE
Starting Pitchers
The AL rotation includes one of its highest paid, an ageless wonder, and plenty of contractual value down the line. Gerrit Cole's $36M salary ranks 2nd only to Max Scherzer, who would have found his way here had he avoided injury. Justin Verlander's return to the mound from injury has been nothing short of spectacular, and he's now only 30 innings away from unlocking a $25M player option for the 2023 season.
Player | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Shane McClanahan | Rays | $711,400 | Control thru '27 |
Nestor Cortes | Yankees | $727,500 | Control thru '25 |
Alek Manoah | Blue Jays | $730,000 | Control thru '27 |
Framber Valdez | Astros | $3,000,000 | Control thru '25 |

Paul Blackburn | Athletics | $710,000 | Control thru '25 |
Gerrit Cole | Yankees | $36,000,000 | Signed thru '28 |
Justin Verlander | Astros | $25,000,000 | Option thru '23 |
Shohei Ohtani | Angels | $5,500,000 | Control thru '23 |
Relief Pitchers
While other organizations are paying single relievers upwards of $20M per year (unsuccessfully), the Guardians remain on brand, getting extreme value out of their most important positions. Emmanuel Clase will make $20M over the next 5 seasons to hold down the back end of Cleveland's pen. All of these relievers have considerable team control left.
Player | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Clay Holmes | Yankees | $1,100,000 | Control thru '24 |
Emmanuel Clase | Guardians | $1,900,000 | Signed thru '28 |
Gregory Soto | Tigers | $722,400 | Control thru '25 |
Jorge Lopez | Orioles | $1,500,000 | Control thru '24 |
Positional Starters
Lotta star power here. Judge highlights this list not only because of his production, but also his expiring contract status. Ohtani and Devers aren't far behind, and both have serious question marks about staying with their current franchises. When will the Blue Jays strike financially with Vlad? When will Trout cry uncle with the floundering Angels?
Player | Pos | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alejandro Kirk | C | Blue Jays | $714,000 | Control thru '26 |
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | 1B | Blue Jays | $7,900,000 | Control thru '25 |

Mike Trout | OF | Angels | $37,116,666 | Signed thru '30 |
Giancarlo Stanton | OF | Yankees | $29,000,000 | Signed thru '27 |
Reserves
Miggy Cabrera and Julio Rodriguez aren't here as gimmicks, they've both had excellent first halfs - despite coming from opposite ends of the career spectrum. Benintendi is one of the top trade candidates this month, and Bogaerts player option next year (plus Trevor Story's recent signing) has many monitoring the Boston offseason as well. Meanwhile, the Astros continue Astro-ing.
Player | Pos | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Yordan Alvarez | DH | Astros | $764,600 | Signed thru '28 |
Miguel Cabrera | 1B | Tigers | $32,000,000 | Signed thru '23 |

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Starting Pitchers
Gonsolin and Alcantara have been lights out, and one should be throwing out the first pitch at the LA event. Castillo is a top trade candidate, Musgrove is a top extension candidate, and we may be witnessing a swan song season for Kershaw.
Player | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Clayton Kershaw | Dodgers | $17,000,000 | Pending UFA |
Sandy Alcantara | Marlins | $3,800,000 | Signed thru '27 |
Corbin Burnes | Brewers | $6,500,000 | Control thru '24 |
Luis Castillo | Reds | $7,350,000 | Control thru '23 |
Max Fried | Braves | $6,850,000 | Control thru '24 |
Anthony Gonsolin | Dodgers | $720,000 | Control thru '26 |
Joe Musgrove | Padres | $8,625,000 | Pending UFA |
Relief Pitchers
Edwin Diaz has been near unhittable, and yet is quietly heading toward the open market. Bednar and Mantiply will be fielding calls this deadline, and Josh Hader's extension situation in Milwaukee is worth monitoring over the next few months as well.
Player | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Edwin Diaz | Mets | $10,200,000 | Pending UFA |
Josh Hader | Brewers | $11,000,000 | Control thru '23 |
Ryan Helsley | Cardinals | $722,450 | Control thru '25 |
David Bednar | Pirates | $715,000 | Control thru '26 |
Joe Mantiply | Diamondbacks | $717,000 | Control thru '26 |
Positional Starters
A third of these starters could hit the open market this fall, and all but Chisholm are well compensated currently. Contreras is a top trade candidate, Goldschmidt is an MVP candidate, and Trea Turner currently projects to a $32M per year extension.
Player | Pos | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Willson Contreras | C | Cubs | $9,625,000 | Pending UFA |
Paul Goldschmidt | 1B | Cardinals | $26,000,000 | Signed thru '24 |
Jazz Chisholm | 2B | Marlins | $718,000 | Control thru '26 |
Manny Machado | 3B | Padres | $32,000,000 | Opt-out after '23 |
Trea Turner | SS | Dodgers | $21,000,000 | Pending UFA |
Bryce Harper | OF | Phillies | $27,538,462 | Signed thru '31 |
Ronald Acuna Jr. | OF | Braves | $15,000,000 | Signed thru '28 |
Joc Pederson | OF | Giants | $6,000,000 | Pending UFA |
Mookie Betts | OF | Dodgers | $22,500,000 | Signed thru '32 |
Reserves
The NL East is well represented here, as the Mets and Braves are putting together a big 2022. Pujols received a special selection, Arenado has already said he won't be opting out, Swanson is almost a shoo-in to hit the open market, and the Juan Soto contract/trade talks will only intensify as the Nationals plummet down the standings.
Player | Pos | Team | 22 Salary | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
William Contreras | C | Braves | $710,000 | Control thru '27 |
Nolan Arenado | 3B | Cardinals | $35,000,000 | Opt-out after '22 |
