What was Chipper Jones last contract worth?

Chipper Jones, one of baseball's all-time greats, has had an illustrious career, spending his entire 19-year career with the Atlanta Braves. In 2009, Jones signed a three-year, $42 million extension with the Braves, which included a club option for a fourth year, potentially making the deal worth $61 million.

Jones, the first overall pick in the 1990 draft, had already won a World Series and an MVP trophy with the Braves before signing the extension. He was 36 years old at the time of signing and would be 40 years old when the contract expired, ensuring he finished his career in Atlanta. The contract had an annual average salary of $14 million, with a $10 million salary for the 2009 season and annual salaries of $13 million from 2010-2012.

The contract also included a $9 million option for the 2013 season, which would become guaranteed if Jones played in 123 games in 2012 or averaged 127 games in 2011-2012. The potential for performance bonuses of up to $1.5 million a year was also included in the contract.

Jones had been a consistent performer for the Braves, averaging 26 home runs, 86 RBI, and a .342 batting average over the past three seasons prior to signing the extension. He had a lifetime batting average of .310 and had hit 408 home runs. Jones was considered one of the greatest switch hitters in baseball history and had the potential to surpass 500 home runs for his career.

Jones had considered retirement before ultimately deciding to stay with the Braves due to the team's improvements and his desire to be part of their comeback. The Braves had made significant improvements to their pitching staff and defense, which gave Jones confidence in the team's ability to compete.

In the final year of his contract, Jones was set to make $4.75 million. He had continued to perform well for the Braves and was a key part of their lineup. Jones had become the first major-leaguer to hit .300 in his 18th season in 2012.

Overall, Jones' last contract was worth $42 million over three years, with the potential to earn an additional $9 million in the fourth year if he met specific performance criteria. Jones had been a consistent performer for the Braves throughout his career and was considered one of baseball's all-time greats. His last contract was a testament to his skill and longevity in the game.
