However, recently, a comparison between the annual spending of the Baltimore Orioles and the annual salary of Freddie Freeman has come to the light. And it might be shocking for many baseball fans.
Freddie Freeman earns close to the annual income of the Baltimore Orioles roster
Notably, earlier this month, Freeman signed a six-year deal with the LA Dodgers for a whopping $162 million. And as per his new contract, Freeman will be earning $27 million in a year. After playing for 9 years for the Atlanta Braves, Freeman has chosen the Dodgers as his new home for the next few years.
Now, compared to Freeman’s salary, the Baltimore Orioles’ entire roster earns only $30.3 million. This shows the payroll contrast between the top and bottom teams of MLB. Taking to Twitter, Joc Pederson of the San Francisco Giants had shared the payroll gaps between the top-3 and bottom-3 sides of MLB.
