Elvis Andrus
10 years, $131 million
The Texas Rangers and shortstop Elvis Andrus agreed to an eight-year, $120 million contract extension. The 24-year-old Andrus is now owed $131 million over the next 10 seasons, including the money left on his current deal. Andrus is considered one of the top young shortstops in baseball. He was an All-Star in 2012, when he hit .286 with 31 doubles. But the investment is heavy for a player with a career .275 batting average and only 14 home runs in four seasons. The Rangers are betting that Andrus will continue to grow offensively. The shortstop is just the latest player to join baseball's $100 million men.
