1 Verlander 28 mill for 2015,16,17,18,19, this could be real trouble for some time! Way too many years.
2 Sanchez 16 mill for 2015,16,17, at least 18 has a buyout! I question this one when they signed him
3V. Martinez 14 mill for 2015, grab hold,18 for 2016,17,18. Hey he missed a whole season in his last contract!
4 Nathan 10 mill for 2015, 1 mill buyout for 2016 It all been said
5 Avila 5.4 mill for 2015 Took a chance
6 Perez .5085 mill No words cover this.

Total for 2015 = 69,485 Million, or the Houston Astros roster. I know not every contract can work out but most of these had bad written all over them at some point in time. just 2015 was a little early.
 
I guess DD sucks at extensions. But damn these are bad. I won how it stacks up to other teams bad contracts.
 
Actually there is only 2 bad ones among what you listed, JV and VMart.

Sanchez has had a bad start to the season, lets not act like he has never pitched up to his contract.

As bad as I dislike Nathan he was still the best closer on the market coming off back to back great seasons in Texas

1 year of a 2.0 war player with avila isnt a bad deal either at 5.4 m

The fact you have a minimum player like Perez shouldn't even count
 
Never compare our payroll to the Astro's. They had to stink for a long time to be in that situation..
