There’s some serious cash on the barrel head in Monday’s MLB All-Star Home Run Derby.
As the eight sluggers try to square up as many baseballs as possible to win the competition, they’ll also be playing for a $1 million top prize.
For some young players such as Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone, New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice and St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker, that figure represents more money than they will make in salary for the entire 2026 season.
Throw in an extra bonus for the longest home run of the competition, and it could be a pretty profitable night’s work in Philadelphia.
