The biggest payday of the 2036-37 offseason in Major League Baseball went to SS Jeffrey Mitchell. After six Silver Sluggers with Dallas, the soon-to-be 30-year old inked at $330 million over eight years with Philadelphia. He’s one of 19 players in the world set have a salary of $40 million or more for the 2037 season. The three biggest are at $53 million with Kawasaki 3B Yoshikazu Fujioka, Omaha SP Callum McGonagal, and Hiroshima 1B Hyung-Gwang Sohn. Sohn’s contract, signed prior to the 2032 season, is the largest in the world at $391,500,000 over eight years.

Other big signings to new teams include 1B Takefumi Hayashi, the 2032 Japan League MVP. After starting with Utsunomiya and playing the last two years with Osaka, he opted out of his Orange Sox deal and signed for seven years and $232,500,000 with Sapporo. Prince Kofi, a nine-time Silver Slugger winning SS in West African Baseball inked a five-year, $155,000,000 deal with Abuja. The 33-year old Ghanaian was a key starter for Dakar’s 2036 WAB title.

Below are the top-rated players in the world entering 2037.

MILESTONE WATCH

In the European Baseball Federation, veteran pitcher Nejc Novak has a chance to become the wins leader if he bounced back from a career worst 4.54 ERA from the prior year. After 20 seasons with Munich, he was traded to Dublin for 2037. The 41-yar old Slovene has 294 wins, behind only Gianfranco Marinis (302) and Jean-Luc Roch (300) for the top spot in EBF.

“The King” Binh Tang is already Austronesia Professional Baseball’s career leader for runs, total bases, doubles, RBI, and WAR. The 37-year old IF is set for his 20^th season with Hsinchu and has 735 home runs, putting him in reach of Wil Tabaldo’s record 766. Tang is also second in hits with 3324, although he likely needs two seasons to catch Junior Sanchez’s record of 3564.

2B Trey Cruz is signed for 2037 with Samoa at age 40 and has 3388 hits in the Oceania Baseball Association, within reach of Adrian Kali’s OBA record 3467. Cruz also has 1837 runs with Roe Kaupa holding the #1 spot at 1963. Adding his two MLB seasons, Cruz has 3618 hits and 1954 runs.

Sultan Han sits at 780 home runs in the Asian Baseball Federation, only four behind Hakan Mocuk for the league record. Barring injury, Han is likely to be the first in ABF to the 800 club. The 37-year old 1B is set for his fifth year with Hyderabad and has 35+ homers in all 15 of his full seasons.

Only six players in world history have 2500+ career RBI, but West African Baseball’s Abdel Aziz Ashraf (2469) and Youssoupha Diop (2416) both can get there in 2037. Diop could become the 25^th in world history with 900+ pro home runs, entering at 884. Ashraf is #4 on the world leaderboard at 1056 and a big year could make him only the second to 1100.
