Free agency came a year too late for Justin Masterson. After an All Star performance in 2013 that saw the towering Masterson put up a WAR of 3.5 after marks of 2.3 and 4.2 in the two seasons prior, his 2014 season would enter a full tailspin as he posted a 5.88 ERA between the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Cardinals. Last winter he became one of several Red Sox mistakes with a one-year, $9.5 million contract.
