There will be so much talk when this season ends about how much money Bryce Harper or Manny Machado will make. Two hundred million? Three hundred million? Four hundred? Nobody knows yet how the market will play out. Nobody knows how teams will view Machado's insistence on playing shortstop or Harper's troubling strikeout trends. Nobody knows which teams will dive headfirst into the bidding. Nobody can say just how high the price will go other than it will be high.
So consider this: The best player in baseball not named Mike Trout is making less than $2.
