The media and fans (not so) patiently waited for the two biggest free agents —Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto — to sign new deals with new teams. The American League MVP and the 25-year-old ace both inked pacts with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have spent more than $1 billion so far this offseason.

Ohtani is coming off of surgery, and Yamamoto has never pitched in the MLB, but the Dodgers went all in on 10-, and 12-year deals, respectively, for the Japanese superstars. It will take some time to see how well the deals age, but with the benefit of hindsight, we’ve compiled a list of free-agent signings that were total busts.

Here they are.
