The 15 Worst Contracts in MLB

Grantland Article on ESPN.com
Obviously A-Rod gets #1 because of the suspension, and he won't even be on the field. But I still just can't believe the amount of money that Pujols got. His contract is the worst by far to me.

The Angels are so fricked.

Not legit. Bobby Bonilla isn't on that list. He's still getting paid.

Amen to that.
Any sensible cards fan who watched him over his last couple of years here knew that he was going to get paid for what he did, not what he was going to do. Was so happy they decided not to cripple the organization for a decade.

The value of his contract is more money than the government revenue budgets of 36 different countries.

Some of those 1, 2 year deals aren't bad. They suck for the short term, but none have massive money per year, just an average player getting paid. When you get into 4+ years at big time per year salaries, it's gotta be a GMs worst nightmare. Pujols, Rodriguez, fielder, Gonzalez, Howard in that order for me. Why young athletes don't wanna play baseball is beyond me....

Uggla and Upton are really screwing us with those deals.

Please add Carlos Lee to Houston.

Absolutely, Mozeliak made a great decision. The Cards signed 3 players for that price.

the Braves TV contract is worse than all those contracts combined

Uggla deal is not really hurting us too badly. 2016 is when our money starts to get tight and he is off the books by then.
