Reyes Signs With The Marlins

[TNTtoys]

I believe the Nationals giving Jayson Werth 7 years and $126 million is hard to top for worst contract in history.

I don't think Reyes is worth that much given his history of injury.
BUT, I do think he is one of the best lead off hitters in the game today. If he could play 99% of the games for the life of the contract he will give the Marlins a great lead off hitter for a long time. And he will earn at least some of that contract.

Werth's contract might be bad, but compare it to the other $126 million dollar man BARRY ZITO...

And the article read...

Barry Zito and the Giants reached a preliminary agreement on the largest pitcher contract in baseball history, a $126 million, seven-year deal. A source familiar with Zito's contract told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick that the agreement includes an $18 million option for 2014 with a $7 million buyout that could increase the value to $137 million.

Considering what he's done since signing that contract, I have just one word. YIKES.

But at least Zito had done something before the big contract.
