Last year’s shortstop class was packed with stars. Trea Turner. Carlos Correa. Xander Bogaerts. Dansby Swanson. All of those players inked massive deals with Swanson earning a measly $177 million over the life of his 7-year contract while Trea Turner topped the market with a $300 million pact over an 11 year period.
The other two players fell somewhere in between with Bogaerts also getting 11 years but coming up a bit short of $300 million, landing right at $280 million, while Correa had the shortest deal (6 years) but the highest AAV at just over $33 million per year, giving him $200 million over the life of his deal.
