It's inarguable the rockstar players are overpaid, but it ends there for me. The majority are lucky to play five years at MLB level and they won;t leave anything like rich. There was a time I finally understood the money as well as I can though. Pujols had just signed his $250M 10 year contract which was insane at the peak of his career. Sure he would draw fans for the Angels and sell many millions in jerseys etc. Literally days later the Angels signed a $20 billion, not million dollar radio, not TV deal for 20 years. Yes it was twice the length of Pujols contract but pretty sure $20B is 80X his contract. The media money big market owners are playing with is just crazy lucrative.
