Pick The Year This Deal Becomes A Bad Contract

[ofahn]

Overall, the deals I like the most when they were first signed:
Wei-Yin Chen SP Orioles 3 $11.388MM
Melky Cabrera LF Blue Jays No 2 $16.000MM
Brandon McCarthy SP Diamondbacks 2 $15.500MM
Mike Napoli 1B / C Red Sox 1 $5.000MM
Angel Pagan CF Giants No 4 $40.000MM

I thought the Swisher, Haren, Dejesus and Jackson deals were fair, too. Looking back, some deals turned out to be great that I didn't expect when they were signed.

I agree on the Chen, McCarthy, Napoli, and Haren. I think you already know how I feel about the Cabrera and Pagan deals.

Did anyone pick 2013 as the year that Alex Rodriguez's contract became toxic?
