[hide] Will Paul Skenes in three to four years become the first pitcher to ever land a $400 million contract in baseball? And is that the Floor?. Jeff Passan of ESPN in a feature had executives, agents predicting a $400 million payday for Skenes and Detroit Tigers SP Tarik Skubal as the top candidates. In fact, Passan believes the stage could be set for a $500 Million payday for Skenes who will be 27 at the time of his free agency. “If Skubal does indeed crack the $400 Million threshold, it would be no surprise to see Skenes parlay his productivity, age, marketability into becoming baseballs first half-billion-dollar pitcher,” Passan writes.
