Here are the SS making more or as much as Betts this season:


Lindor     $32M  .267  31 HR
Seager     $31M  .271  21 HR
Swanson    $28M  .244  24 HR
Turner     $27M  .303  15 HR
Betts      $25M  .258  20 HR
Story      $25M  .263  25 HR
Baez       $24M  .257  12 HR

Betts isn't overpaid compared to the others considering his Gold Glove level fielding which puts him among the best (Swanson, Baez).

Almost all long term contracts overpay the last few seasons anyway.
