Where Harper’s deal ranks among biggest

Bryce Harper agreed to a 13year, $330 million deal — the biggest contract in North American sports history — with the Philadelphia Phillies.

His deal surpassed Giancarlo Stanton’s 13-year, $325 million extension he signed before the 2015 season with the Miami Marlins and comes on the heels of Nolan Arenado’s eight-year, $260 million extension with the Colorado Rockies and Manny Machado’s 10-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres.

While Harper’s deal sets a new bar for total value, it didn’t break the record for highest annual average value at $25.4 million.
