Okay, so I was messing around online today, just killing time, you know? And I got curious about how much money baseball players make. I mean, these guys are huge stars, right? So I started poking around, trying to figure out the salary of this player I’d heard a lot about – Ronald Acuna Jr.
First, I just did a basic search. Typed in “Ronald Acuna salary” and boom, a bunch of stuff popped up. I skimmed through a few articles, and it looked like the number $17,000,000 was coming up a lot for his yearly salary. That’s a lot of dough!
But then I got to thinking, is that his actual salary, like every single year? Or is it more complicated than that? So I dug a little deeper. I found out that he signed a contract with the Atlanta Braves, and apparently, the average salary over the whole contract is something like $12,500,000 a year. Sounds great. But it looks like his base pay actually went up to $17 million this year, and it’s gonna be the same next year. So I guess it varies, huh?
- Started with a simple search online.
- Looked through several articles and websites.
- Noticed the $17,000,000 number popping up for his current salary.
- Dug deeper to understand the contract details.
- Realized his average salary is $12,500,000, but it’s different this year and the next year.
What I did to find out:
Anyway, it was interesting to find out. It seems like contracts in sports are complex. I was just curious, and now I know a little more about how it all works. It is kind of crazy to think about how much money these athletes make, though!
This is the whole story I found and just wanted to share. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
