Maybe the Yankees expect at those salaries, they should make the All-Star team.
Derek Jeter ($21.6 million), Mark Teixeira ($20.6 million) and Mariano Rivera ($15 million) do not receive a bonus for making the AL All-Star team, according to details reported by the Associated Press.
The Yankees’ three All-Stars for this year’s game in St. Louis are among 14 of the 66 selections to not receive any monetary compensation for their honor.
The Mets, on the other hand, are paying out $350,000 to their four All-Stars: $100,000 each to Carlos Beltran (voted in but unable to play due to injury), Francisco Rodriguez and Johan Santana, and $50,000 to David Wright. Beltran’s 2009 salary is $19.2 million; Santana’s is $18.8 million; Rodriguez’s is $9.1 million; Wright’s is $7.7 million.
Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, now on the trade market, received the biggest bonus, $125,000. Reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum did not receive any.
