You got to give Bonilla credit for accepting one of the best retirement programs ever! LOL
The absolute worst I think - Mike Hampton, Pitcher for Colorado $121 mil for 8 years.
Was traded in 2001 to Colorado... at Coors Field he went 21-28 with a 5.75 ERA over two seasons before being dealt to the Marlins then Braves with a last year ERA of 6.15. Had a couple decent years but then injuries hit him hard. The Rockies were still on the hook for his salary and then $6 million buyout in 2009.

Honestly the Bonilla thing is a joke. How do they not just pay him the 6 million? I know the Wilpons are cheap, but they literally are paying him 400 percent of what he was owed. When I first heard about that I was like no way, than thought, oh yeah the Wilpons would do something that stupid. Only my mets....
