Shades of Bobby Bonilla:
Baltimore is on the hook for four MORE Chris Davis seasons (AFTER this one) @ $23M/per.
They signed him right after he led the majors in homers twice in three years...and it's been downhill ever since.

Did you know that Bonilla still makes over $1mil per year from the Mets? And it's now nearly 20 years since he last played in the majors. His contract was set up so that he gets paid over $1 mil each year until 2035. Sweet deal, and forward thinking by him and his agent.
