Whether it's a free-spending big-market team or a penny-pinching small-market squad, every MLB franchise is searching for value.
Ahead, we set out to find the contract with the best value on each roster, sticking to a few notable parameters.
First, no player earning more than $10 million was eligible. There are players earning that much who are still values relative to what they would command on the open market, but generally speaking, there are better picks than guys making eight figures.
Second, pre-arbitration players were also not included since the sport's financial structure means they are all making close to the league minimum.
