2023*	Washington Nationals	$15,000,000
2023	New York Mets	$43,333,333
Total Career Earnings:		$256,241,666

When Max Scherzer first signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2006, he received a $3 million signing bonus. The following year, he signed a four-year, $4.3 million rookie contract, paying him an average annual salary of just under $1.1 million.

Scherzer earned $1.9 million for the first two years of the deal before being traded to the Detroit Tigers. In 2009, he earned $1.45 million, followed by $950,000 for the final year of the contract. From 2011 to 2014, Scherzer signed multiple consecutive one-year contracts with the Tigers, with his annual salary reaching $15.5 million by 2014.

Washington Nationals Contract & Earnings

In 2015, Max inked the most valuable deal of his career: a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Washington Nationals. The agreement boosted his average annual salary to $30 million; however, half of the total contract value was deferred. As a result, Scherzer has consistently been paid $15 million per year from 2015 to the present day. He will continue receiving annual payments of $15 million until 2028.

New York Mets Contract & Earnings

In 2022, Max signed a three-year, $130 million contract with the New York Mets, which paid him an average annual salary of $43.3 million. The contract broke the MLB record for the highest average annual value at the time. In the latter two years of the agreement, Scherzer was injured and unable to play, but he retained the full value of the contract.

This resulted in Scherzer earning almost $60 million per year for the final three years of his career, thanks to his $43.3 million salary combined with the $15 million annual deferred payments he received from the Nationals.

During his MLB career, Max Scherzer earned $314.6 million in salary and bonuses. However, he still has a $60 million deferred salary that will be paid over the next four years. This will bring his total earnings to $375 million by 2028.

Endorsement Deals

In 2024, Forbes listed Max Scherzer’s annual income at $53 million, making him the 3rd-highest-paid player in the league. Roughly $1 million of this figure was earned off the field. While it isn’t exactly a lot in comparison (just 1.9% of his earnings), it’s still significantly higher than most MLB athletes. That said, six of the ten-highest-paid players earned more than him off the field at the time, including Mike Trout, Jose Altuve, and Aaron Judge.

Nonetheless, Scherzer earned seven figures per year in addition to his salary through several lucrative brand endorsements. This included his partnerships with Fanatics, Nike, and Topps, which are believed to account for the bulk of the money. He also starred in commercials for Indeed and Papa John’s.

Real Estate

Virginia Home

In August 2015, Max Scherzer purchased an 8,264-square-foot home in McLean, Virginia, which features five bedrooms, for $5.2 million. In October 2020, he returned the property to the market with an asking price of $15 million. Scherzer secured $15 million for the house in November 2021.

Jupiter, Florida Home

In June 2020, Scherzer paid $9.75 million for a 7,778-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Admirals Cove, located in Jupiter, Florida. The property currently has an estimated value of $16 million, and costs him roughly $206,000 per year in property taxes.

Net Worth History

When he first listed Trevor Story on the site in 2020, multiple sources estimated his net worth at $40 million. However, we believe this figure was significantly overstated, as Story had earned only $12.5 million in MLB at the time. Since then, Story’s salary has dramatically increased, earning him a combined $80 million from 2021 to 2024. This could potentially place his current net worth at the inaccurate $40 million estimate from 2020.

MLB Salary

Year	Team	Salary
2011	Colorado Rockies	$915,000
2016	Colorado Rockies	$507,500
2017	Colorado Rockies	$540,000

2022	Boston Red Sox	$20,000,000
2023	Boston Red Sox	$20,000,000
Total Career Earnings:		$69,980,463

When Trevor Story signed with the Colorado Rockies in 2011, he received a $915,000 signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues for five seasons before securing a new $507,500 contract with Colorado. The following two years also paid him similar salaries.

In 2019, the Rockies avoided arbitration by signing Story on a one-year, $5 million contract. The following year, he received a two-year extension worth $27.5 million. The first year paid him $5 million, including a $2 million signing bonus. The latter season earned Story $17.5 million.

Trevor secured his first nine-figure contract in 2022 when he signed with the Boston Red Sox. The deal was fully guaranteed at $140 million over six years. Story is currently in the fourth year of the agreement, having already earned $62.5 million. He is projected to earn $22.5 million for the 2025 season.

Thus far in his MLB career, Trevor Story has earned $92.5 million in salary and bonuses, with $77.5 million remaining in guarantees.

Additional Income Sources

According to reports, Trevor Story has signed endorsement deals with five brands during his career, including Athletes’ Brand, High Brew Coffee, Nike, Rawlings, and T-Mobile. His earnings from said partnerships have never been disclosed to the public. However, they have likely helped supplement his income from baseball. Story is also available for speaking engagements, social media campaigns, and corporate appearances, but again, his fees aren’t listed.

Total Career Earnings:		$85,635,150

When Corey Kluber signed with the San Diego Padres in 2007, he received a $200,000 signing bonus. Four years later, Kluber made his MLB debut, signing a one-year, $414,000 contract with the Cleveland Indians.

Kluber’s next three contracts were all one-year deals, typically earning him between $480,000 and $514,000/year.

In 2015, Corey signed his first long-term contract, a five-year, $38.5 million extension with the Cleveland Indians, which included a $1 million signing bonus. The agreement increased Kluber’s average annual salary to $7.7 million, although it would be a couple of years before he began earning figures close to this number.

Kluber earned $2 million in 2015, followed by $4.5 million in 2016. By 2017, he was earning $7.75 million/year under the deal. His earnings peaked at $17.5 million for the 2019 season when he was traded to the Texas Rangers. Given the additional club option, plus bonuses and escalators, Kluber secured $48.7 million in total from the contract.

Corey Kluber played three more seasons in the MLB, earning $11 million with the New York Yankees, $13 million with the Tampa Bay Rays, and $10 million with the Boston Red Sox. He earned a total of $85.6 million during his career.

Endorsement Deals

Kluber was never heavily endorsed during his time in Major League Baseball; however, he did sign deals with several brands that likely helped boost his overall income. This included:

Fanatics
Johnnie Walker
Launch Coffee Co.

Given how little information there is surrounding his endorsements, we can assume that his annual earnings from such deals never reached the high six figures. An estimate of $100,000 per year is much more probable, but this is just our best estimate.

Real Estate

Corey Kluber and his wife, Amanda, purchased a property in Tampa, Florida, for $3.95 million. The couple later filed a lawsuit against the Tampa-based interior designer, Amanda Drew, and Drew Designs LLC, regarding work they performed on the property. Drew Designs allegedly fraudulently inflated the cost of the renovations and overbilled Corey and his wife. However, the outcome of the lawsuit is unknown.
