When Magic Johnson and the new ownership group purchased the Dodgers from [he who shall not be named], the franchise had been bankrupt and their payroll ranked 12th in baseball, nearly $60 million below their Freeway counterparts in Anaheim.
The following season, in 2013, the Dodgers payroll jumped to second overall. From 2014-2017, they had the highest payroll in all of baseball. They have been no lower than fourth since.
All of that money being spent, of course there has to be some regrettable free agent signings, so I decided to make a list and rank the five worst signings since 2010, overlapping a bit with the end of the McCourt era.
