Which MLB free agent do you think will get overpaid the most in free agency ?

Ian Desmond - I think some team will give him $100 million deal. Also Helrickson as he is probaby the best pitcher available

Whichever client Scott Boras represents

I don’t see Desmond getting $100 million. He didn’t sniff that last year. Maybe if he had maintained his monster first half, but he hit .237/.283./.347 in the second half.
If he does, then I agree that it would be a massive overpay.

Hopefully however much Houston wants to give to Encarnacion

All of them. They all make way too damned much money.

Mark Melancon or Ivan Nova

Before his injury, I would have said Wilson Ramos easily. He had a career wRC+ of 93 before putting together a career year in his walk season. That's a recipe for a terrible contract but the ACL surgery puts everything in doubt. Now, I believe the most overpaid player in free agency will be Jose Bautista. The guy's 35 years old and has clearly been showing signs of decline this year but some team will overpay him in the hope that he'll be able to return to previous form. They'll end up being wrong.

Before the season Joey Bats asked the Jays for 5 - $150 mil.

Desmond or Mark Trumbo

Trumbo is gonna get paid for hitting 47 HR despite his lack of value anywhere else

BJ Upton will forever be the most overpaid FA of all time.

I doubt he gets close to that number of homers next year. Once protection from the other sluggers in Baltimore + their very hitter friendly park aren't there for him, I don't think he'll be as valuable.

I don't know man closers are pretty darn valuable, and he is a good one

Upton was worse. Heyward hates hitting the ball though

Chapman and Jensen will get Mike Leake money

How is 5 - $75 worse than 8 - $184 with two opt outs and IIRC Upton had more WAR than Heyward this year

Because I am a braves fan. Darn it!

During his two seasons with the Braves Upton hit .184 and .208. As bad as Heyward has been this year at least he still provides defensive value. Upton has one of the worst contracts this side of Hector Olivera.

I've resigned myself to the fact that Boston is going to throw all the moneys at him to replace David Ortiz.
