Bad Contracts Part 1: B.J. Upton (Atlanta Braves)


B.J. Upton was touted by many people as baseball's next superstar. While Upton did have impressive raw talent, he was just never able to put it all together and fulfill his potential. The Atlanta Braves foolishly doled out $75M to acquire Upton after his somewhat effective 2012 "contract year" and Upton has been absolutely wretched in his 1.5 seasons with the Braves. They are now stuck with him for three more seasons. Good luck trying to unload his salary!
