The MLB offseason has seen a flurry of moves whether from free agent signings or some notable trades.
There is still plenty more to come though. Here are the highest annual salaries that have been handed out in free agency thus far in the offseason. All free agent signings were found on ESPN.com. This list is surely to change as the offseason moves along with Bryce Harper and Manny Machado still on the free agent market.
Patrick Corbin - SP, Washington Nationals 6 years, $140 million ($23.33 million)
The 29-year-old Corbin earned his second All-Star appearance in 2018, a year that also saw him finish fifth in NL Cy Young voting. In 33 starts, he went 11-7 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He struck out 246 batters in 200 innings (11.1 K/9) after never striking out more than a batter an inning in any season prior.
Josh Donaldson - 3B, Atlanta Braves 1 year, $23 million ($23 million/year)
A couple injury-filled seasons made it hard for anyone to give the soon-to-be 34-year-old more than a one-year deal. Last season, he played in just 52 games for the Blue Jays and Indians finishing with a .246 average, .801 OPS, and eight homers. The third baseman was named the 2015 AL MVP while also finishing fourth in the voting in both 2013 and 2016.
Nathan Eovaldi - SP, Boston Red Sox 4 years, $67.5 million ($16.88 million/year)
Eovaldi, who turns 29 on February 13, played a large role in helping the Red Sox become World Series champs after they received him in a trade last July. During the regular season with Boston, he went 3-3 with a 3.33 ERA in 12 games (11 starts). In the postseason, he appeared in six games (two starts). He went 2-1 with a 1.61 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 22.1 innings.
Andrew McCutchen - OF, Philadelphia Phillies 3 years, $50 million ($16.67 million/year)
McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, joins the Phillies after ending last season with the Yankees. While is isn't quite the player who won a MVP (also finished third in voting in 2012 and 2014, fifth in 2015), he still ended last season with a .368 on-base percentage. With the Giants and Yankees in 2018, he batted .255 with 20 homers, 30 doubles, and 14 stolen bases. Yahoo recently discussed whether Philadelphia still has a shot at Bryce Harper after signing McCutchen.
Charlie Morton - SP, Tampa Bay Rays 2 years, $30 million ($15 million/year)
Morton put together his best season in 2018 with the Astros at the age of 34 (turned 35 on November 12). He was named an All-Star for the first time during a year in which he went 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 30 starts. He struck out 201 batters in 167 innings.
