I gotta go with Hamilton for now. I hope Ohtani tops it though.

 

[Dolemite censored]

The reported Ohtani number is ludicrous.

Cabreras extension certainly wasn't great

Payment for prior services. Worth it.

Come on.

Sounds fine to me

The Fat Panda. Couldn’t have happened to a better team tho

That is what I think ... Miguel Cabrera contract was a little high and a little long, for my taste.

Bobby Bonilla's contract is based on an annuity. Not as expensive as it appears.

Winner: Chris Sale - a whiny asshole. Even if he were not always injured, he is a negative influence in the clubhouse.

I hope they paid him every cent of it.

Ohtani is going to make $28,000,000 more than the A’s next year.

 

[Nosferatu]

Joe Mauer

Ludicrous has been used so I’ll go with preposterous.

His contract is $60,000,000+ more than entire AL Central’s payroll last year.

Why was baseball better when players had to sell insurance in the offseason?

 

[Dolemite censored]

Only ways out of that contract are bankruptcy, personal conduct violation (not even sure of that) or death (not sure about that either).

 

[Mistaken4193]

They paid $700M for a DH. The odds are slim he is ever the same pitcher after a 2nd TJ.

 

[PeoplesChicken]

Strasburg may have been the biggest pussy on that list. Anyone with even half a clue could see that was going to be a bust.

 

[PeoplesChicken]

And then...you sign a known drug addict to that contract (Hamilton)? Addicts always relapse...and epically

I called his getting DFA’d the day he signed, and even got the year it would happen right.

But the Giants ended up getting a decent bench player for league min out of the deal for 2 or 3 years. No way could I call that the worst contract.
