dave mcbride Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I ask this as a Yankees fan: is this the worst contract in the history of sports? 10 years and $275 million for 23.5 WAR in total -- with 6.8 in year one of the ten-year contract and 15 in the first three years of it. The Yankees received 8.5 WAR over the final seven years for ~$190 million -- 1.2 per year, which is BARELY above a triple A replacement player. Good effing riddance. EDIT: 9 years for $250 million. Forgot about the one-year suspension! Edited August 9, 2016 by dave mcbride

Wait until Pujols hits the late years of his deal.
dave mcbride Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Wait until Pujols hits the late years of his deal. After this season, Pujols will need 6 WAR over 5 seasons to tie A-Rod's number in his final contract - a relatively meager amount. Something tells me he gets it done. Not even close http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/16650867/why-mets-pay-bobby-bonilla-119-million-today-every-july-1-2035 A-Rod will make more than $175 million more than Bonilla from his deal, so I think A-Rod's is just a little worse. Bonilla's is crazier, which is why it has become infamous. Edited August 9, 2016 by dave mcbride
