Money Ball

In the off season of 2001, Alex Rodriguez would sign the largest contract ever. He would agree to terms with The Texas Rangers. The deal was for 10-years and 275-million dollars. He would be traded to The New York Yankees three years later. Derek Jeter would sign a large contract too, a deal for 10 years and up to 200-million dollars would be grand for the captain. Baseball was becoming a high revenue sport, and players would see large increases in their contracts. Baseball has an absurd amount of players who reach triple figures. But the fans don't mind paying more for great entertainment.
