Salaries
of Current and Former Yankees Players
Have you
ever wondered how much money different Yankees players have made over the
course of their careers? How much money did Paul O'Neill make during his stellar
career as a Yankee and Cincinnati Red? How much money did Chuck Knoblauch
make before a throwing problem made him opt for an earlier than expected retirement?
How much money has Derek Jeter made? And how about A-Rod - how much has baseball's
number one villian made since he became a major leaguer?
The following
chart does not have career salaries filled out for all of our current roster
of Yankee players yet, but check back regularly for updates. We hope to complete
this chart before the end of spring training.
