MLB superstars who should be next in line for contract extensions

Seattle Mariners signed Julio Rodriguez to a contract extension that guarantees him $210 million. If he maxes out at $470 million, it would be the richest deal in American sports history. Alex Rodriguez's contract with the Texas Rangers was the first one to exceed the $200 million mark.

Seattle Mariners signed 21-year-old outfielder Julio Rodriguez to a contract extension that guarantees him $210 million and could max out at $470 million. There are many young stars in baseball who are next in line for these kind of contracts. Alex Rodriguez's contract with the Texas Rangers in 2000 was the first one to exceed the $200 million mark.

Shoehi Ohtani is a two-way player. He is currently under club control for one more year in 2023. The most recent contract extensions for Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Alex Rodriguez were worth $365 million.

Aaron Judge is the 2017 American League Most Valuable Player. He rejected a seven-year, $213.5 million contract offer from the New York Yankees. The 30-years-old is hitting .297 with an MLB-leading 51 home runs entering Wednesday’s play.

Xander Bogaerts is unlikely to return to the Boston Red Sox next season. He has four years and $80 million left on the contract he signed with the team back in 2019. Bagaert's agent is Scott Boras. Marcus Semien received a seven-year, $175 million deal with Texas Rangers last year. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Juan Soto, and Jacob deGrom are other players who could be next in line for contract extensions.
