Show me the money.
Mets manager Buck Showalter's contract figures have finally been revealed.
According to MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman, Showalter's three-year deal to manage the Mets will be worth a total of $11.25 million.
Showalter's contract will be the highest for a Mets' manager in franchise history, eclipsing Art Howe's four-year, $9.4 million deal signed prior to the 2003 season.
Showalter, 65, will receive $3.5 million in 2022, $3.75 million in 2023 and $4 million in the final year of his deal, as Heyman reported.
Fellow skippers Terry Francona and Joe Maddon are believed to be MLB's highest-paid managers with their annual salaries hovering in the $4 million range.
