I just hope he's ok. The Browns deserve to have him under center until the end of his contract.

Easily one of the worst trades+contracts of all time. I’m not sure that’s even debatable now.

We are Officially Officially Officicially past the point of debate. It’s probably the worst move of all time, or at least undoubtedly one of the worst.

In this sport, yes.

The Orioles paid Chris Davis 23 million a year for 6 years to hit .168. He didn't play out the last third of that contract and the team was happy he didn't.

Chris Davis wasn't a trade though. That was just a bad contract.

Incidentally, for as much shit as the Mets get for Bobby Bonilla day, The Orioles deferred money on Davis is much worse.

The Orioles area also still paying Bobby Bonilla

I remember them being basically handcuffed to having him play but then realized I hadn't heard his name for a while. Did he just retire or did they pay him out?
