did Juan Gonzalez take the biggest L ever?

[the cool]

he turned down a 144 million contract from the detroit tigers and was out of the league two years later?

 

[Grifter]

I'll play in a field in Camden, New Jersey for that much money.

 

[Regular_P]

That son of a bytch dogged it all year with the Tigers too. fukk that piece of shyt. He got what he deserved.

 

[The Entity]

Yes...was thinking of this today

remember when jeff weaver turned down 40 mil?

 

[Raquinotj]

Blame Scott Borass. That move backfired big time. It has paid off over the years just didn't that time.

 

[Reality]

dude dropped off the face of the earth

was one of my favorite players back when i was a kid and i forgot he existed honestly

Steroids.

Then he got divorced a couple years later too. shyt fell apart for him after that. It was like the baseball version of Spreewell turning down the 3yr, $21MM extension from Minnesota.

kinda shows how bad and desperate, along with being poor evaluators, the Tigers were at that time as well to offer that money to a dude that had only a few (mediocre) years left in him.

 

[JAY?]

He pulled a sprewell

i still dont know why he retired so early, dude was still good for 100 rbis a game. you laugh at that detroit year but he went to cleveland and put up 35 hrs and 140 rbis the very next year, comerica parkw as hard ot hit in back then

 

[Reggie]

What did Juan gone really think he would get on the market then? His fukkup almost as worse as Sprewell turning down his 3 year 21 million dollar deal from the Wolves. At least Juan still played a few more years and earned some money though.

That made me hate him even more. He almost won MVP that year with Cleveland.
