These Former Major League Baseball Players Haven't Played In Years But Still Make More Money Than Many Active Players - Page 12 of 38

Alex Cobb

Another deferred contract for the Orioles. Cobb deferred $20 million from his four-year, $57 million deal, and he’ll be getting $1.8 million annually from 2023-2032. Since he’s unlikely to pitch 130 innings in 2020, he’ll also have an additional $5.5 million deferred until 2033-2035.

2020 started off very well for Cobb, but went off the rails quick. He had an ERA of under 3.00 through his first four starts. Now it’s up past 5.00 with an injury stint along the way.
