In celebration of the Yankees resigning DJ LeMahieu to an incredibly team-friendly six year, $90 million contract, I wanted to take a look at some other contracts that turned out to be incredibly valuable.
LeMahieu has yet to play a game on his new deal but it’s hard to see $15 million a year going to a player like DJ LeMahieu being a bust relative to what salaries are for stars of his caliber. The criteria for including a player in this post were pretty simple. The player had to have been signed as a free agent. The player had to have been signed to a multi-year deal.
