The Philadelphia Phillies just signed Bryce Harper to a monster 13-year, $330 million contract, and now Mike Trout has crushed that with the largest contract in professional sports history -- a 12-year, $430-million deal with the Los Angeles Angels.
As the contracts keep growing bigger and bigger, let's take a look at which players are getting paid the most in each sport.
The sports are measured a little bit differently to determine the biggest contracts. For instance, the NFL figure is based on guaranteed money, while the NBA's is established on the salary for the upcoming season. MLB and the NHL are decided by the contract's total value.
With that in mind, here are the players with the richest deals at the moment:
