Pitcher Dave Stewart signs a contract worth $3.5 million a year with the Oakland A's.
For some perspective, in 2014 the L.A. Dodgers sign pitcher Clayton Kershaw for a seven year contract worth $30.7 million a year.
For even more perspective, minimum wage in 1990 was on average $3.80. In 2014 it was on average $7.02.
Oh... and with inflation... that means in 2014 you could spend $7.02 and buy exactly the same amount of stuff you could with $3.80 in 1990.
Mo' money... exact same problems. Check out this nifty little calculator.
