An astute reader points out that in today’s BADr chart, I somehow transposed Kevin Brown’s $115 million, seven-year contract signed for the 1999 season onto Mike Piazza, who actually agreed to a humble $91 mil over the same time span. This knocks Piazza all the way down to 15th on the all-time BADr rankings, making room for, ironically enough, Kevin Brown at the #10 spot:

Incidentally, that gives the Dodgers two out the 10 most ignominious contracts of our time. Jay Jaffe must be so proud.
