29 players in MLB history have made at least $150 million and a lot of them played for the Yankees

Alex Rodriguez hasn't played a game in a year and yet he will still be paid $21 million this season from the New York Yankees, adding to what is already his status as baseball's highest-paid player of all time.

Thanks to a pair of contracts worth more than $250 million, Rodriguez has made more than $430 million in his career.

But A-Rod is not alone.

In all, 29 players have made at least $150 million in their careers, including 12 who — like A-Rod — played at least part of the careers with the New York Yankees.
