I was scrolling through my Instagram feed earlier today when a recent post from Odubel Herrera came up. The Phillies center fielder was showing off shoes and other things he bought from a Phillip Plein store, a luxury fashion store (which I only figured out by Googling). The picture alone looked expensive and made me wonder just how much money Herrera was making this year on the contract he signed after the 2016 season.
Herrera is making “just” $3 million with a $350,000 signing bonus this season. Obviously, this money would be life-changing for 99.
