Penny-pinching A’s owner John Fisher pays his entire 26-man roster $333,000 less than Mets pitcher Max Scherzer will earn himself this season.
DETROIT, MI – JULY 6: Starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen #21 of the Detroit Tigers flips a baseball while pitching against the Oakland Athletics during the first inning at Comerica Park on July 6, 2023 in Detroit, Michigan. An innocuous, off-the-cuff remark from A’s manager Mark Kotsay after a loss offered yet another reminder of how depressing business is for Major League Baseball’s worst team.
“He’s an All-Star for a reason … He’s a guy I really wanted to acquire this offseason,” said Kotsay, who had good reasons for wanting the tough-nosed right-hander on his team, even beyond the fact both are proud Cal State Fullerton alums. An $8.5 million salary would have tied Lorenzen with Barry Zito for the second-highest salary for a starting starting pitcher in A’s history.
In fact, Lorenzen’s relatively modest salary is almost double that of the A’s current five-man starting rotation, which will earn a cumulative $4.78 million this year. Paul Blackburn’s $1.9 million salary makes him the A’s highest-earning starting pitcher. Blackburn’s $1.9 million contract ranks just 117th of MLB’s 234 starting pitchers, but it’s still more than double the amount each of Oakland’s four other starters will earn. .
