Despite the new contract, Wander Franco will not be one of the highest paid in MLB until 2026

Tampa Bay Rays wanted to keep his super rookie within his ranks for a few more years and that is why he gave Wander Franco a new multimillionaire super contract a few days ago. At first glance it may seem that the young person will be one of those who will receive the most money but it is not like that. The Dominican will not be one of the best paid of MLB until 2026. Here the details of the contract.

The Tampa Bay Times reporter Marc Topkin released the details of the contract that Wander Franco just signed with the Tampa Bay Rays and broke down the amounts he will receive per season.

For the 2022 campaign, the Dominican will receive just $ 1 million dollars and it will gradually increase, with 2026 being when the figure grows considerably, since he will receive $ 15 million dollars.

The negotiation between the rookie and the Tampa Bay organization also includes a $ 5 million signing bonus as well as a clause that would allow him to exit in 2033.

Wander Franco was for several cycles the highest ranked prospect in the entire MLB and managed to make his professional debut in the 2021 Season, putting numbers that led him to be a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as the coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social networks, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
