  • Contract Negotiations

    Strasburg is represented by agent Scott Boras who has let it be known publicly that he is interested in getting a $50 million contract for Strasburg. However, the current high water mark for a rookie contract coming out of the draft is prior pitching sensation Mark Prior who fizzled in the Major Leagues.

    Just before midnight of the signing deadline for the 2009 draft, Strasburg signed a contract for $15.1 million, with a $7.5 million signing bonus, paid out in three annual installments.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/08/strasburg-contract-numbers.html
