Over his time with the Yankees, Mark Teixeira has had some incredible seasons, but he has also had some disappointing years as well. What will his 2016 performance mean for the worth of his contract overall?
Last week, slugger Chris Davis re-signed with the Baltimore Orioles on a seven-year, $161 million contract. This massive deal, which will allow Davis to be paid until he is 51 years old, is the third largest contract ever given to a first baseman, behind only Miguel Cabrera's eight-year, $248 million extension with the Tigers and, you guessed it, Mark Teixeira's current eight-year, $180 million contract signed prior to the 2009 season.
