Andrew McCutchen Career Earnings: Exploring veteran All-Star's financial haul after extending Pirates stay
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract extension with the Pirates, adding more years with the clubhouse, which also happens to have picked him in the 2005 MLB draft.
The local boy has amassed quite a net worth over the years, having played for five teams in 15 seasons since 2009. According to Spotrac, he has an estimated earnings of $117,940,170 in 15 seasons in the majors.
Moreover, McCutchen has a net worth of around $60 million on the back of his player salary, investments, endorsement deals and real estate properties.
He was drafted in the first round and eventually debuted on June 4, 2009. He singled in his first at-bat against Mike Pelfrey and ended his day with two singles, one RBI, three runs and a stolen base.
