Hey guys, today I’m going to share some stuff about Luis Robert’s contract. As you know, I’m always digging into baseball player contracts, and Robert’s is a pretty interesting one.
So, I started by going through some articles and official reports. First thing I did was to pull up the details of his initial deal with the White Sox. I found out that the White Sox signed Robert to a six-year extension worth $50 million back in January 2020. That was before he even played a single game in the MLB! Pretty wild, right?
Next, I looked into the year-by-year breakdown of his salary. Here’s what I gathered:
- 2020: He was supposed to earn $1.5 million.
- 2021: The pay went up to $3.5 million.
- 2022: He earned $6 million that year.
- 2023: His salary was $9.5 million.
- 2024: This year, he’s making $12.5 million.
- 2025: His salary will be bumped to $15 million.
After that, I checked out the details about the contract options. The contract has options for 2026 and 2027, each worth $20 million. But there’s a catch – each of those years has a $2 million buyout. So, if the White Sox decide not to keep him, they’ll pay him $2 million to walk away.
Then I dug a bit deeper into his overall career earnings and market value. One source I found said his net worth is around $75,055, which seems off because he’s making millions every year. That number must be old or just plain wrong.
I also looked at a player with a similar contract for comparison, Luis Arraez. Arraez signed a 1-year, $13,700,000 contract with the Padres.
Lastly, I saw some mentions that Robert originally signed with the White Sox out of Cuba before the 2017 season. That’s a cool little detail about his journey to the MLB.
So, that’s the gist of what I found out about Luis Robert’s contract. I always find it super interesting to see how these deals are structured and how much money these guys are making. Hope you found this as interesting as I did!
