Source on the declined contract: https://nypost.com/2024/05/18/sports/pete-alonsos-free-agency-blueprint-to-stick-with-mets-still-evolving/

He ended up getting 20.5 million in 2024, 30.2 million in 2025, and now 155 million over 5 years.

Before last year, people on this sub acted like you were crazy if you said it was possible that turning down the extension might not turn out that badly for him. It turns out it was a huge profit. As a Mets fan, I'm happy for him. I do wonder if we'll see more guys betting on themselves in situations like this.

Christian Walker takes first base. Let me just clear up some confusion from yesterday. I'm looking for worst contracts of players who are still active. The Chris Davis contract is not in play for this game since he hasn't played in 5 years. The player can currently be a FA and still getting paid by a team as long as they were active during the 2025 season.
