Is there going to be any realistic answer other than Anthony “i think baseball is boring” Rendon?
The day has finally come .
Tony No Try for sure.
I know what we’re here for but man there are some toast contracts on this list
It’s only fair to OP if we vote someone else /s.
Sorting these lists by Total Value the entire time was just to set up placing Rendon fourth on this list today.
Everyone paid more than Jose… We’re looking at you.
ITS TONY TIME!!
Angels legend and known baseball enjoyer Anthony Rendon
mr hollywood lifestyle of course
wtf why you gotta do Oswaldo like that
We knew why you waited for this one.
Rafael Devers will receive my vote out of principle

Rendon. The one thing all of r/baseball will agree on.
People are obviously here to talk about Rendon, but man, Machado is owed another $300 million up until he’s age 40. He’s still really good but he’s lost bat speed recently and actually graded out negatively at third base the past 2 years. You have to feel like the Padres will end up way underwater on him.
Guys. Come on. It’s Jose Ramirez
On day 69 of F1exican cuting chives no less.
Is it a Reddit conspiracy?
Yay! Good thing this goes away next year! I can’t say much about the rest of the bad contracts tho.
Rendon is gonna win this because it has been a running joke, but I’m not convinced I wouldn’t be tempted to take Rendon’s contract over some of these other contracts as of this moment. At least with Rendon I’m done paying after this year.
I don’t like this game.
You wuss. This could’ve waited until opening day
I Don’t Know
That payroll to WAR ratio is crazy, and that’s not even with Rendon yet!
I would rather my team own the Rendon contract today than the Machado contract.
Manny has averaged just 3.3 WAR the last three seasons. He’s 33 years old and has eight years left, seven of them at $39M each.
Let’s just take today off guys…..
I’m biased, but Jose Ramirez is a steal! What a bargain on that deal.
Machado has a 116 ops+ over the the last 3 seasons. He’s been a negative fielder the last 2 seasons, according to both statcast and bbref.
He’s still due another 8 years and ~$255m, and he’s only the 2nd worst contract on his team.
3B finalist congratulates Rendon on his early retirement
Anthony Rendon by a fucking Mile. Devers would be 2nd, but even then, it’s not close.
Anthony Rendon and it’s not even close.
