Anthony Rendon and the Angles are finally ending what could be the WORST contract in MLB. While it may be the worst, it's definitely not the only bad contract the league has seen. From Mike Hampton in 2001 to Stephen Strasburg in 2020, there have been plenty of contracts that just did not hit their marks.
