Ranking MLB’s worst contracts: Not all megadeals are worth the cost

Ranking MLB’s worst contracts: Not all megadeals are worth the cost
SHARE

The landscape of Major League Baseball contracts is ever-changing, with players coming and going, and deals being made and broken. As the offseason progresses and the hot stove heats up, teams are evaluating their rosters and making tough decisions about which contracts are worth keeping and which ones may be dragging them down.

One of the most significant changes in the MLB contract landscape is the retirement of Stephen Strasburg, the expiration of Patrick Corbin’s deal with the Washington Nationals, and the resurgence of Chris Sale. These developments have shifted the annual rankings of the league’s worst contracts, prompting teams to reevaluate their strategies and make tough decisions about their future.

One of the contracts that has come under scrutiny is Nick Castellanos’ deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Signed in March 2022, Castellanos has failed to live up to expectations, despite some heroic moments and colorful celebrations. With only 1.4 fWAR over the past three seasons, Castellanos’ performance has not justified his hefty salary, leading to speculation that the Phillies may be looking to trade him to retool their roster.

Another contract that has raised eyebrows is Carlos Rodón’s deal with the New York Yankees. After a disastrous 6.85 ERA in 2023, Rodón showed signs of improvement in 2024 but still has a long way to go to justify his high salary. With a 3.96 ERA and 175 innings pitched, Rodón has shown potential, but the Yankees are paying him a premium for his services.

Xander Bogaerts’ contract with the San Diego Padres is also under scrutiny, with signs of decline already evident just two seasons into the deal. With a wRC+ below the league average for the first time since 2017, Bogaerts’ performance has raised concerns about his future production and whether the Padres will get their money’s worth over the next nine years.

Other contracts that have been labeled as the worst in the league include Jacob deGrom’s deal with the Texas Rangers, Mike Trout’s contract with the Los Angeles Angels, and Giancarlo Stanton’s deal with the New York Yankees. These players, despite their talent and potential, have failed to justify their massive salaries in recent years, raising questions about the wisdom of their respective teams’ investments.

In conclusion, the MLB contract landscape is a complex and ever-evolving one, with teams constantly evaluating and reevaluating their investments in players. As the offseason progresses and the hot stove heats up, teams will be forced to make tough decisions about which contracts are worth keeping and which ones may be holding them back. Only time will tell which deals will prove to be wise investments and which ones will go down as the worst in league history.
