Comments
Like any ginormous contract there is the element of risk involved, Cano was obviously a huge waste of money.
They throw around these huge deals all too easy
rarely do the huge FA contracts work out. Randy Johnsons in 1999 was one that sticks out in my mind that did work. and very well
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
