The Boston Red Sox handed Pablo Sandoval a fat five-year, $95 million contract after 2014. Since then he's only played 161 games for Boston since 2015, and hit for a .237 average, making him one of the worst free agent signings of all time. However, there have been other players who were far less productive after signing huge contracts. What do you think?

PERSPECTIVES

When a team gives a player $19 million, fans usually expect more than 35 games in two seasons. Even when Pablo Sandoval was on the field, he couldn't produce for the team after getting his fat contract. After winning the starting job for third base in 2016, Sandoval batted .212 with just four home runs in 32 games. He was so bad the Red Sox decided to dump him with over $40 million dollars left on his contract.

If that's not the worst free agent deal, what is?

The #RedSox have signed some bad contracts, especially in the last 15 or so years. Pablo Sandoval's their worst. All-time. It's not close. — Adam Kaufman (@AdamMKaufman) July 14, 2017

Pablo Sandoval's contract was bad, but there is no way it was the worst. Pablo Sandoval was hit by the injury bug, and couldn't do much on the field. But with other albatross contracts like Josh Hamilton still affecting the Los Angeles Angels, you can't say Sandoval's contract is the worst. The Angels are still paying the remaining $63 million in dead money when they unloaded Hamilton to the Texans after heading back rehab.

There are other contracts that are worse than Sandoval's.
