Also, in terms of the OPPOSITE - big money contracts that delivered. The Nats may actually be UNDERPAYING Max Scherzer, about halfway through that deal.

Posey hasn't been worth the deal he signed in 2013?

Chris Davis by far. Not only was it ridiculous at the time but its money that could have gone to Machado.

Heyward getting that kind of money for doing absolutely nothing is mind boggling


Cardinals actually offered him more cash! Thank God he took the Cubs offer.
