Interestingly enough, his massive contract means he will be earning more than some of the teams participating in the MLB. Curry will be earning a whopping $59 million during the 2025-26 season. This means his future salary will be more than the payrolls of some of the MLB teams back in 2020. 

The Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, and the Pittsburgh Pirates had a payroll of $35 million, $37 million, and $38 million respectively in 2020. Not only his future salary, but Curry’s salary during the 2022-23 season also greatly undermines their payrolls.
