Worst MLB Contracts

[cjwct]

As I sit here watching my Mets, I am sadly reminded that for the next 25 years we will be paying Bobby Bonilla $1.2 million each of those 25 years.

That got me thinking: what do you think was the worst contract and why?

Here is list to remind you of 45 of the worst in one person's view:

Toooo many to list.

I heard that yesterday and thought that Bobby was a genius to have done that. The Mets were stupid to do that.

I am surprised they did not have Darren Dreifort on the list.

Just noticed that someone posted this in the comments section

This ties into the Madoff controversy surrounding the Mets. The Mets deferred some contracts to pay down the road with future Madoff profits. This gave them more money to invest at the time.

Didn't think about it that way, but very plausable.
