In 2000, Myers earned a salary of USD$ 6,916,667.00 while unable to pitch due to a damaged shoulder. Most of his 1999 and 2000 season was spent receiving treatment in the Padres training room after undergoing rotator cuff surgery in 1999; his injury resulted in a legal dispute between the Padres and their insurance carrier after the carrier denied an $8 million claim due to Myers' inability to play. http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/padres/20030530-9999_1s30padside.html
