Every MLB Team's Dumbest Contract Ever

Mike trout

I thought we were gonna get Chone Figgins for the mariners

Are these completed contracts cuz javy baez is way worse

Billy Bean told the fans they didn’t have the money to sign Donaldson who would have had enough serviceability at the end of 2015 to get a new contract before his 6 years team control was up. He could have signed that fall even if he was granted arbitration for $3.5 million for 5 years. Instead they traded him and signed Tuna Casserole to 3 years $30 million.
Tuna Casserole played 1.5 seasons with 19 extra base hits and 39 hit into double plays.
Donaldson won the League’s MVP.

Here before candy becomes the reds worst contract ever

The Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles (lol) take the cake

as a white sox fan how is adam dunn, andrew bentiendi, or john danks not on here those are the 3 biggest deals ever for the team....and they never earned the money

I had Casey Mize for Tigers

Mets have given out way worse contracts. Jason Bay !!

I nominate Yasmany Tomas as the Diamondbacks worst contract.

How dare you do my boy Kazmir like that

Kris Bryant is looking like a worse contract for the rockies so far i think, but otherwise agree

You guys are wrong about Pablo Sandoval being the worst Boston Red Sox contract because that honor is Carl Crawford's.

could have put dan uggla on the braves too. he was terrible after they resigned him.

For the Royals, the Alex Gordon contract was worse than Ian Kennedy.

Look at Ryan Howard's 5 seasons before he got hurt. Ridiculous numbers he put up, so he deserved that contract, but unfortunately, he got hurt. My opion is if he doesn't get hurt he probably reaches 400 maybe 500 homeruns and possibly gets into the hall of fame.

I would say the White Sox had worse contracts than Jon Jay......probably Yasmani Grandal's. He only had one good offensive season and he was paid a lot more.

As a dodgers fan it’s not Kazmir, it’s gotta be Kevin Brown

I’d pay 126 mill for a championship zito has been forgiven and paid for his contract.

I would hardly call one year contracts bad deals. Or 5 year 10m. thats literally pocket change

You lost me when the Mets contract wasn't Bobby Bonilla. I'm sorry, but that dude is getting paid until 2035

Choosing Kennedy for the Royals worst contract over Jose Guillen. 36 million for a cumulative negative 2.3 WAR.

Seriously please try to justify choosing Kennedy to me when at least Kennedy had a 4.3 WAR season in his first year in KC

Gee.. I wonder what the O's are...

Xanders deal will probably go down as worse than Hosmer

Dumbest sounding voiceover goes to creator of this video

I almost forgot about Ellsbury….thanks

Anthony rendon contract in Anaheim is top 3

The Tigers have had many horrible contract mistakes, but none as bad as Miguel Cabrera. I don't get how people keep saying that he "deserves" to be grossly overpaid for minimal effort and production.

Ryan Howard's downhill spiral was because of his injury.... wasn't a dumb contract in most people's eyes

Worst contracts EVER? These are all relatively recent.... Definitely not EVER.

This has been an issue for 30 fucking years now which is why MLB has been on a steady decline. Fans are sick of it cause ITS A JOKE which is all owners fault

Detroit not being Baez says a lot about Detroit.

This video is dumber than any of these contracts for putting 1 year contracts as a bad contract

How is Bobby Bonilla not on this

Hated the Elsbury signing when it happened and still hate it.

I'd argue the Kevin Brown or Trevor Bauer contracts with the Dodgers were worse than the Kazmir one was.

Tigers should be Baez

The White Sox have done a lot worse than Jon Jay. I would argue that their signings of Albert Belle (clubhouse cancer) and Adam Dunn (.200 hitter) were worse. Then there was Adam LaRoche who only signed once the White Sox agreed to let his kid wander around the clubhouse, and quit baseball entirely a year later when the Sox said enough of that. Not exactly team leader material.

I completely forgot we had Michael Bourne in Cleveland

No Heyward didn’t produce even close to his contract, but the Cubs don’t win that World Series without him. His team talk during the rain delay alone made it worth it.

tigers is about to be javi

Kris Bryant is the worst rockies contract by a mile.

bj upton was trash. never hated a brave more than him.

Wow I thought wander Franco would be on this list

Kris Bryant...

When you make a update video instead of Pablo Sandoval since it’s only 90 million for 5 years you should replace it with Trevor Story 6 years for 140 million he’s only played 30 percent of his games

Doesn’t it seem like Rendone has been in Anaheim for 14 years?

Phillies:Taijan Walker 4years/78million. They are probably going to have to eat the last 2 years of that contract. What were they thinking? Dombrowski should be fired for that alone amongst other bad moves.

I gotta disagree with the Fowler one because if you ask me the dumbest contract the Cardinals ever made was signing Brett Cecil to that ridiculous 4 year 30.5 million dollar deal

No many player hiting over 300. Any more, your coment is out league
