Baseball NIL Money - Players Making ?
Posted on 5/13/26 at 1:29 pm

We see things all the time about how much football players are (theoretically) making. Leavitt $6M, Seaton $4M, etc.
I don't ever see numbers for baseball players. How much are top end guys like Bear Jones, Eyanson, others making? How much are average starters making?
I once heard that William Schmidt got $500k to come to LSU. Obviously, I have no clue if that's true.
Thinking about this as it relates to Milam and his slot value. At some point, even though he'd lose his draft leverage, the slot value would be less than what he'd make at LSU next year.

For Milam, it will be deciding if he wants a one year payday from LSU to stay or risk going to MLB as a senior sign.
Look, some players just want to go start their pro career since it's still a climb to make it to MLB through the minors.
Guys like Tommy White and Skenes probably got really good deals to come.
Someone like Caraway probably not as much.
Schmidt was given a pretty good deal to get him out of the draft.
Evans was getting recruited by the big name schools as well so it probably took a nice deal to get him to come.

Just a fantastic job comparing apples to oranges and apples to bananas. You really are an idiot.

You are asking the rant, who believes every LSU athlete is a multi millionaire. Im sure you will get great answers.
