5. Alex Rodriguez, Yankees
Once the poster child of Major League Baseball, A-Rod’s 10 year/$275M contract is shaping up to be arguably the worst contract in baseball history. Though the first four years of the decade-long investment were productive for Rodriguez and the Yankees, injuries and steroid allegations (which resulted in a year-long suspension last season) have completely wrecked the second half of the deal. Now 39 years old, it’s nearly impossible to know what to expect from Rodriguez going forward. He last played in the major leagues in 2013, when he hit .244/.348/.423 in 44 games, and I think the Yankees would consider 2015 a success if he is able to repeat those numbers. However, after a year off at his age, predicting such success would be a bold move and it’s more likely that A-Rod flops in 2015.
