Worst contract in MLB......

[WvGambler]

I know it's always been just standard the last few years to say its ARod's deal, and I have been a Pujols apologist.....but I'll be damned if this Pujols contract isn't historically viewed as worse than ARod's eventually.

His foot will heal, and he will be closer to the Old Albert than he will be this current Albert, but Christ almighty...8 more years? He's breaking down now!

What contract is worse? Arod? Albert?

How about Ryan Howard's? That thing looks ugly now too.

Joe Mauers is starting to look a little better, but the twins would love to have that decision back as well.

[Bcatswin]

Hamilton maybe Soriano?

[InTheDrink]

you gueys are joking right?

vernon wells is BY FAR the worst...he's making almost 25 mil this year

where would you rank him? top 150 players? probably not even

[Bcatswin]

How many years is he signed though?

[Delicious]

zito has to be in the top five. A rod if you consider all the drama he brings has to be worse than Albert

[crustyme]

kemp 8yr/$160m..... .254 4 hrs 24 rbi

[InTheDrink]

How many years is he signed though?

it was 7 yrs 126 mil

he made something like 26 mil the year he hit .218

and i just looked...he doesnt have enough pa's to qualify for the leaders (which tells you plenty to begin with) but if he did he would be #147 in OPS

[WvGambler]

I have no defense for leaving out Vernon Wells

Arod at least helped (he was a one man wrecking crew throughout some of those playoff games) win a WS

Kemp is still considered a pretty damn young dude

Hamilton's contract is still only 3 months old.

I think Barry Zito's contract certainly belongs in the conversation

Bobby Bonilla

Johan Santana 6 years 137.5 mil. Thats around 23 mil./year for a guy who has done nothing besides pitching a no hitter. About to miss his 2nd full season in those 6 years and he might never pitch again.

God we forget how bad that contract turned out.

[greenhippo]

Got to give honorable mention to Kevin Brown (7/105) at age 33.

[Robber]

Aroid
Vernon wells
Pujols
Zito
Ryan howard

That is penetrating terrible.

This is actually hilarious, this dude is owed 25 payments totaling 29.8 million since 2011: $1.19 million starting in 2011 and ending in 2035.

you pujols is the worse IMO, twins had to show mauer the dough though, its minnesota...kid is from minnesota they worship that boy, bad contract yeah but he coulda gotten more dough somewhere else so i suppose he helped them out a bit.....

[Chi_archie]

Bobby Bonilla

yeah add Jason Bay to that for the mets.

but seriously

Derek Bell, Pat Meares, Jason Kendall, Kevin Young, Matt Morris those 5 contracts and a couple more are a HUGE reason it has taken so long for the Pirates with their miserly owners to turn into a winner. they have a great window ahead of them but with draft and international signing bonuses capped now. It might be a 4-7 year window that closes and back to 20 consecutive losing seasons in the future.

BJ Upton

[crustyme]

dodgers still owe manny ramirez, $8.5 million.... he last played for them aug 29, 2010.

[Catchn_Picks]

I think that ARod's contract will alter the signing methods of teams for years to come...nobody saw the drug thing coming tho

[bankroll27]

josh hamilton...a qtr billion they gave him...shitty glove, cant hit, and he sucks the glass dick

[Big Bear]

zito has to be in the top five. A rod if you consider all the drama he brings has to be worse than Albert

Look at all the money the Yankees spend every year...

when is the last time the Yankees won the world series?

If it wasnt for Zito ... the Giants would not have won the World Series last year..

All that money they spent on Zito was worth it since they won the world series last season
( which is the ultimate goal when owners hand out millions)

[SteelRain]

BJ Upton

one of the worst hitting fundamentals in baseball absolute garbage

[ronniejamedio]

Carlos Lee? Another drug era guy who got paid a lot of dough.

[easyliving]

that 6 year 147 mil. deal for Greinke will look real bad in a couple years as well.

[mighty maron]

Juan Gonzalez eight years 140 million from Tigers....and he turned it down....oopsie back in the 90's

[You mad bro]

Johan Santana 6 years 137.5 mil. Thats around 23 mil./year for a guy who has done nothing besides pitching a no hitter. About to miss his 2nd full season in those 6 years and he might never pitch again.

And it coulda been a 1hitter lol .. But props to him

[EmpireMaker]

BJ Upton

High School players hit better than this turd

[freeVICK]

Jason bay had a 4 year $66 million contract with the mets lol

[hipster]

A Rod...Crawford...Lackey...Dunn...hate to say it Teixeria...

[pattymayo]

In terms of productivity Andruw jones with dodgers was insane back in 08, two years $36m , he played in 75 games and had 14 RBI. Fourteen rbis!! Unreal lol

[Marigold HD]

Have there even been a good long term signing???
