The Yankees have built a longstanding reputation and throwing around the big bucks when they want a certain player. But which contracts are among the richest in franchise history? Here’s the top of that list.
Richest contracts in Yankees history: No. 10-5
D.J. LeMahieu: six years, $90 million
D.J. LeMahieu originally signed with the Yankees after the 2017 season for just two years and $24 million. That immediately looked like an absolute steal for general manager Brian Cashman and New York.
Across 871 plate appearances during the life of this contract, LeMahieu slashed .336/.386/.536. It included 36 homers, 43 doubles, 129 RBI, and 150 runs scored.
