Sale and Kimbrel, for the bonus question I'll guess Sandoval

Sale and Kimbrel are well paid, but incorrect.

Sandoval is correct for question #1 as the 4th highest on the Red Sox this year.

Pablo Sandoval is earning $18,455,000 this year from the 5 year $95 million contract he signed prior to 2015. He will get paid the same again next year and will earn $5 million from the Red Sox in 2020.

He earned an additional $545,000 with the Giants this year and is currently a free agent.

Hanley is correct for #3.
Porcello is very well paid but he’s not in the top 4.
The bonus is still unsolved.

Hanley Ramirez is the 3rd highest paid on the Red Sox payroll this season.

He was paid $22,750,000 this year from the 4 year $88,000,000 contract signed prior to the 2015 season.

“The signing of Ramirez to a 4-year, $88 million proved to be a regrettable decision for the Red Sox. He sandwiched one solid season between two horrendous ones. A quick start to Year Four quickly faded into an abysmal slump in May 2018, prompting the team to cut ties with the veteran.” - Fansided.
