Part 6/8:

Garrett Cole shines in the S Tier, earning $36 million, having established himself as a dominant ace in MLB since his arrival in New York. His consistent performance pitches him into Hall of Fame consideration.

On the other hand, Blake Snell earns $36.4 million with a recent contract, leading to a B Tier ranking as his potential remains but with significant injury concerns.

The discussion about Jacob deGrom revolves around talent versus health. Earning $37 million, deGrom finds himself in D Tier due to his lack of innings pitched over the past seasons, echoing Trout’s difficulties.

The Pinnacle of Salaries

Aaron Judge, with a $40 million contract, positions himself in the S Tier due to his considerable success as a player and his continued trajectory toward Hall of Fame statistics.
