17 of the Top 25 and 33 of the Top 50 Contracts in the Roger Dorn Baseball League for the 2023 Season were handed out on Monday, though none of those deals surpassed Shohei Ohtani's record $88 contract he received in 2022 from the Meinert Hops. Ohtani is one of just eight Keepers to make the list, a sign of just how powerful the 2023 Free Agent Class was and how it will shape the next three years of competition.
Corbin Burnes received the largest contract of the day from the Las Vegas Aristocrats, equaling the highest pitcher-only contract in RDBL History as his $73 mark tied Gerrit Cole (2021, Fightin' Fish) while Ronald Acuña's $66 deal with the Lunatic Fringe tied the mark for the second highest in League History.
Juan Soto's $65 deal with the Aristocrats was the 10th highest in RDBL History.
