The media and followers (not so) patiently waited for the 2 largest free brokers —Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto — to signal new offers with new groups. The American League MVP and the 25-year-old ace each inked pacts with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who’ve spent greater than $1 billion up to now this offseason.
Ohtani is coming off of surgical procedure, and Yamamoto has by no means pitched within the MLB, however the Dodgers went all in on 10-, and 12-year offers, respectively, for the Japanese superstars. It is going to take a while to see how nicely the offers age, however with the advantage of hindsight, we’ve compiled an inventory of free-agent signings that had been complete busts.
Right here they’re.
