Adrian Beltré made $ 154 million after age 30.

 

 

COVID-19 has mistreated the Major League Baseball business, as well as much of the rest of the industries on the planet. Playing without an audience in the stadiums caused billions less in the box, squeezing the most what came in, causing cuts in wages, layoffs of personnel and paralysis of expansion projects.

 

A true time of lean cows, like those dreams that Joseph interpreted the Egyptian pharaoh in Genesis, which made him the first tax advisor recorded by the Christian reference book.

 

But until recently this was not the case. The league grew by 700% in the three decades, in 1990 the auditor Ernst & Young estimated at US $ 1,336 million the income from the 26-team circuit and in 2019 Forbes left it at US $ 10,700 million with 30 franchises. A section in which about US $ 155 billion were billed, of which over 40% ended up in player accounts.

 

It was the section where the league promoted the largest opening to Dominican players (663 of the 789 natives who have stepped in the parks arrived) and 19 of them were the most advantageous when it came to distributing that fortune, taking at least US $ 100 millions of the pie, each.

 

The money did not fall from heaven, none of the manna in the desert. Almost half have a Cooperstown profile, two of them have already entered, two could enter in the next three years, one is out due to his relationship with steroids, another due to suspicions and two that have not yet reached the ballot have their niches compromised by syringes.

 

They are Alex Rodríguez, Albert Pujols, Adrian Beltré, Robinson Canó, Manny Ramírez, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramírez, Alfonso Soriano, Aramis Ramírez, Pedro Martínez, José Reyes, Johnny Cueto, Vladimir Guerrero, Sammy Sosa, Edwin Encarnación, Bartolo Colón , Ervin Santana, Nelson Cruz and complete José Bautista.

 

This group billed US $ 3,657,455,700 before taxes and has yet to collect another US $ 104,833,334 until 2023, according to Baseball-Reference.

 

Rafael Furcal lacked less than three million to enter the club and Miguel Tejada less than four. Manny Machado will enter in 2022 and may finish third when his current pact with the Padres ends, if there are no setbacks. Carlos Santana can also join.
