Blake Treinen has transformed himself from a late-round draft pick to a high-leverage reliever to a 10-million-dollar earner in Major League Baseball. Famous for his heavy sinker and reliability in the postseason for the Dodgers (more than the A's), Treinen has made a modest fortune over different teams and structures of contracts over time.Treinen is now an established veteran with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and given his durability and the importance of top-end bullpen arms, he landed a nice payday. Having dealt with injuries and bounced back, he landed another big-money deal, further solidifying his financial status in the league.Blake Treinen's increase in pay came on the heels of his progress as an actual pitcher. Having debuted on low-pre-arbitration contracts, he made a massive leap in salary well before free agency came calling during his arbitration years, especially after the dominant seasons he typically had as a late-inning reliever. In 2019, he reached his arbitration ceiling, earning just over $6 million, which put him in the upper echelon of bullpen arms.The largest payday of his career came in a multi-year contract he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Treinen signed a two-year contract worth roughly $22 million in December 2024. The deal featured a high signing bonus and annual salaries averaging about $11 million. The deal structure offered financial security while taking into account that he hasn't been healthy for long, with tons of cash guaranteed at any level of play.Treinen's MLB earnings include arbitration and flat guaranteed deals, along with performance bonuses. Consolidated from public salary data, these numbers put his total career earnings well into the tens of millions.Using the value of all contracts signed, Blake Treinen has earned more than $45 million through his MLB career (minus taxes and fees). After normal deductions of operational expenses like agent commissions, taxes, and a living wage, he is usually believed to have a net worth of between $35 million and $40 million today.That is, not just the amount that he earned on the field but the amount that he is typically able to grow over time through higher-than-average investments and per-inhabitant savings that one would expect from a long-career NFL veteran. Treinen has not publicly announced any business endeavours or endorsement deals, and his career longevity and potential multi-million dollar contracts would indicate he is in a strong financial position.
