Yankees de New York, Dodgers de los Ángeles, Angelinos de los Ángeles de Anaheim, Medias Rojas de Boston y los Padres de San Diego, son los equipos con las nóminas más elevadas de todas las grandes ligas, en el caso de Anaheim tienen a dos peloteros que en la actual zafra ganaran aproximadamente 35 millones cada uno, ellos son Mike Trout y Anthony Rendón, pero si los dueños de los diferentes equipos cumplen, los peloteros deberían cumplir con esas expectativas con las que llegaron a esas franquicias.

Veremos que tal van las campañas de algunos jugadores que este año ganaran una cifra elevada, comenzamos con Trout, a un mes de haber iniciado actividades tiene 126 turnos al bate, con 25 carreras anotadas, 38 hits, 8 cuadrangulares, 20 carreras remolcadas, promedio de 302 y un OPS de 953, proyecta una temporada de unos 35 jonrones y 110 empujadas, algo que es normal en este jugador, por su parte su compañero de equipo, Anthony Rendon lleva hasta el día de hoy 85 turnos legales, 16 anotadas, 25 imparables, 1 jonrón, 18 impulsadas, 294 de average y 782 de OPS, números que desde su llegada al conjunto de Anaheim han dejado mucho que desear, veremos si logra levantar su rendimiento.

In the major leagues of the United States or better known as the MLB major leagues, there have been a series of changes, both in rules and format, but a change that has been taking place for approximately two and a half decades, is the large salaries that players began to receive, Contracts of more than 10 million dollars were really outrageous in the 90's, but today that is nothing, there are players with multi-year signings and almost 500 million dollars, as is the case of the center fielder of the Anaheim Angelinos, there is talk of Shohei Ohtani or Juan Soto as possible players who exceed the ceiling of 500 million.

New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres, are the teams with the highest payrolls of all the major leagues, in the case of Anaheim they have two players who in the current season will earn approximately 35 million each, they are Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon, but if the owners of the different teams comply, the players should meet those expectations with which they came to those franchises.

We will see how the campaigns of some players who this year will earn a high figure go, we start with Trout, a month after starting activities he has 126 at-bats, with 25 runs scored, 38 hits, 8 homers, 20 runs batted in, average of 302 and an OPS of 953, he projects a season of about 35 home runs and 110 runs batted in, Anthony Rendon, his teammate, Anthony Rendon has 85 legal innings, 16 runs scored, 25 hits, 1 home run, 18 RBI, 294 average and 782 OPS, numbers that since his arrival to the Anaheim team have left much to be desired, we will see if he manages to raise his performance.

Another player who since his arrival to the New York Yankees has not been able to display all his offensive power, is Giancarlo Stanton, mainly because of the large number of injuries that have subjected him to be on the disabled list multiple times and has even lost seasons in its entirety, this year the right slugger will earn about $ 32 million dollars, the numbers of this player in the 2023 season are as follows: 52 times at bat, 7 runs scored, 14 hits, 4 round-trippers, only 11 runs batted in, average of 269 and his OPS is 854, again the ghosts of injuries have appeared in this campaign for the home run hitter.

A player who shined with the Los Angeles Dodgers team and even champion was with them, is Corey Seager, the shortstop came to the Texas Watchmen by way of free agency, and is currently the face of the Texan team, Seager got tired of hitting and making big plays at his position, in the Angels, and that made that team invest a lot of money to acquire his services, this year he will be earning 35 million, his numbers in the 2023 MLB are these: 39 innings, 7 runs scored, 14 hits, 1 home run, 4 RBI, 359 average and 1007 OPS, just like Stanton, he is being a victim of injuries, hence these low numbers, surely when he recovers things will change.  

The Astro boy, as Jose Altuve is known, will be the highest paid second baseman this season, with 29 million dollars assured, the little player of the siderales has started injured, an injury he suffered in a quarterfinal clash of the last World Baseball Classic, which took place in the month of March this year, Altuve, with almost 2000 hits in the big leagues, has demonstrated during his years of service, that every penny of the dollar he has been given has been the best investment of his team. It is expected that he will return before June and surely that torrid batting will be present during this season.

Francisco Lindor, shortstop of the New York Mets team, will be one of the 6th highest paid in all of baseball, he will receive more than 30 million dollars, last year he had a season where he was able to vindicate himself, since in the 21st season he was not even close to being the player we know, in the current campaign he has these numbers: 129 at-bats, 22 runs scored, 28 hits, 5 homers, 25 RBI, 4 stolen bases, just 217 average and 716 OPS, but has responded with men on base and that has generated runs for his team, his average will surely rise and his overall numbers will be good again this year.  

To close this publication, we will do it with the future hall of famer born on Venezuelan soil, José Miguel Cabrera Torres, who has hit more than 500 home runs and 300 hits, we will not talk about him this season, his overall numbers show that the contract of more than 300 million was well earned by the Creole, with a total of 10083 home plate appearances, 1531 runs scored, 3100 hits, 507 home runs, 1851 runs pushed, 40 stolen bases, 307 average and 903 OPS, makes him one of the best players of all time in his farewell year and he will be the highest paid designated player with more than 32 million dollars.
