Shohei Ohtani has yet to sign a record-breaking contract with an MLB team, but the 2021 American League MVP is already making more money than any other player in the sport.
Per Justin Birnbaum of Forbes, Ohtani is projected to earn an MLB-record $65 million this season between his salary with the Los Angeles Angels and endorsement deals.
Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge ranks third on the list with an estimated $44.5 million in total earnings for the 2023 season, with $40 million coming from his new contract with the New York Yankees.
