Okay, so, I was digging around the internet today, trying to figure out what’s up with Zac Gallen’s contract situation. You know, the pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks? That guy is a beast on the mound, and I always like to keep tabs on what kind of money these players are raking in.
So, I started poking around on some sports websites. First thing I found out was that he signed a one-year, $10,011,000 deal with the Diamondbacks. That’s a pretty hefty chunk of change, right? Apparently, it was to avoid arbitration, which is always a messy process.
- I kept digging, and found out that this was not his first deal with them.
- Back in January, he actually signed a one-year deal for $5.6 million for 2023. That was for his first year of arbitration, so it makes sense that it’s a bit lower than his current deal.
- Then I found another one-year deal he signed with them before, that was for $575,000. Man, that’s a big jump from $575k to over $10 million, huh?
- But, there is also something about his net worth is $8,024? This feels like a mistake… It should be higher, I guess.
Then I saw some speculation about what he might make in 2025. One site, I think it was Spotrac, said he’s set to make around $13.8 million. But, they also said that if the Chicago Cubs want to keep him long-term, it’ll probably cost them way more than that. Makes sense, right? A guy like Gallen is a hot commodity.
And just for fun, I looked up how much Gerrit Cole is making with the Yankees. Turns out he’s got a nine-year, $324 million deal. That’s just insane! Compared to that, Gallen’s contract seems like pocket change. But hey, $10 million is nothing to sneeze at, that’s for sure.
Anyway, that’s all I found out about Zac Gallen’s contract situation today. It was interesting to see how his salary has grown over the years, and I’m curious to see what kind of deal he ends up with next. Maybe he’ll break the bank like Cole did!
