Slugger Yoenis Cespedes just signed a four-year,Ongoing Archives $110 million extension with the New York Mets. That breaks down to $27.5 million per year, making Cespedes the highest paid outfielder in baseball.
A couple weeks ago, we calculated just how much Aroldis Champan — the top free agent pitcher available this offseason — is looking to make, per inning and per pitch. An international signee from Cuba, Cespedes was the premier outfielder on the market.

He's averaged 27.4 home runs over his five-year career, meaning he'd make about $1 million every time he knocks one out of the park in the next four years.
The 31-year-old is also an RBI machine, averaging 90.6. Under his new contract, Cespedes would make a respectable $303,532 every time he drives in one of his teammates.

So, assuming Cespedes keeps that pace, he'd make about $194,439 every time he steps up to the plate.

Not a bad life.
