An Even More Worserer Contract

Recently, I mentioned that Albert Pujols's contract was the worst ever. Big money, small returns, never the player the Angels expected and now declining rapidly with four more brutal years left.

So, a defensible position.

But I neglected to consider a large ursine bamboo eater. Yes, the Big Panda

Pablo Sandoval inked a five-year, $95 million deal with the Red Sox that's nearly half done and he has "contributed" two losses against replacement. 

For $95 million he has made the Sox worse. And he has done it each year.

For three years he has hit, fielded, run the bases and avoided injury about at the level of an American Legion baseball player. Without a contract he would literally be out of professional ball right now.

And there are two more years left on his deal. Plus an option that the Red Sox are sure to pick up. And throw in the garbage.

So that might be the worst contract ever because literally every penny of it, all $95 million, was a waste.

My bad.
