A $25 million salary used to be reserved for only the super-est of superstars in Major League Baseball, but not anymore. Whereas only three players made that much just 10 years ago, now there are 10 times that many in 2023.
Why bring it up? Oh, for no other reason than it's a good excuse to rank all 30 of these players.
Because this is all about the money these 30 players are making this year, it seemed sensible to consider only what they're capable of in the here and now. Track records are all well and good, but they're only so relevant in conjunction with injuries and performance declines that have ramifications for the 2023 season.
