Most Underpaid Major League Baseball Players

[HMFFL]

22. Dansby Swanson

Position: shortstop
Career: five seasons (2016-present)
Teams: Atlanta Braves (2016-present)
Current contract: one year, $6 million
2020 statistics: .274/10/35

His career arrow continued to point upward in the 2020 season when he posted a career-high .809 OPS and was a Gold Glove Award finalist. He lost a salary arbitration case afterward and has one more on the docket.
So, yeah, team management is in a good place here. 


9. Marcell Ozuna

Position: outfield
Career: eight seasons (2013-present)
Teams: Florida Marlins (2013-2018), St. Louis Cardinals (2018-19), Atlanta Braves (2020-present)
Current contract: four years, $65 million
2020 statistics: .338/18/56

Last season marked a return to Ozuna's 2017 All-Star standards, but his salary didn’t measure up to them.
Sooner or later, he's sure to strike it rich, but he still has three years left on his contract — four if team management exercises an option to extend it one more.

6. Ronald Acuña

Position: outfield
Career: six seasons (2015-present)
Teams: Atlanta Braves (2015-present)
Current contract: eight years, $100 million
2020 statistics: .250/14/29

Welcome to the big leagues, where $100 mill will get you on an underpaid list after a fairly average season. Hold the telethon, though.
This two-time Silver Slugger will be no older than 31 when his contract expires — the team holds an option for the final two seasons — which will give him another shot at the really big money.


2. Freddie Freeman

Position: first base
Career: 11 seasons (2010-present)
Teams: Atlanta Braves (2010-present)
Current contract: eight years, $135 million
2020 statistics: .341/13/53

The 2020 National League Most Valuable Player put up numbers that were easily the best of his career when prorated over a full season. But a $22 million base salary doesn’t do justice to his ridiculous .462 on-base and .640 slugging percentages.
It appears that any contract extension will have to wait until after the 2021 season, however, when he can become an unrestricted free agent.

Albies should replace Ozuna. Ozuna's contract is NOT looking good anymore. Braves have a dilemma about what to do with him.

I agree.

I predict Acuna and Albies will eventually wamt a raise before their contracts end.

I thought it was hands down Albies. Wow, didn’t think Freddie.
