David Ortiz,
$52 million
Big Papi earned a big paycheck after his 2005 season, in which he hit .300, with 47 HRs and 148 RBIs. The club signed him to an extension through the 2010 season in April '06, and he responded by smacking a club-record 54 homers and driving in 137. The Sox hold a $12.5 million option for 2011 which, if exercised, would pay Ortiz $64.5 million over the course of the deal.
