Worst Free Agent Signings EVER


Recommended Posts

Posted

The Orioles signing Albert Belle to a 5 year contract for $65 million and then he ended up with the degenerative hip and didn't play for the last 3 years of the contract. The Os decided to pay the contract so that they could claim a majority of it back in insurance. This handicapped the team financially up until this year which is why they now have some $40 million to spend on free agents this year.

Weaver came here in a trade, right?

 

If not, the Dream Wrecker should get it.

You traded Ted Lily essentially to get him (3 team deal with Oakland, Yanks, and Tigers)

 

I was leaving Hideki Irabu for you since you're a Yankees fan but since you didn't mention him...The Fat Toad was a bust

I liked Ted Lily.

 

Eh, Irabu was awful, and damn did I hate him when he played for us (From Day One) but to the best of my knowledge, he never Weavered us, so he gets a little bit of a break.

I'll toss in San Francisco signing Edgardo Alfonzo for this past season. They pay the guy $4 Mill to hit .259, 13 HR's and a .334 OBP? Hopefully Fonz can improve over the upcoming seasons.

Wow, the Mets were actually SMART for not resigning him. He was a class act, though.
