Mo Vaughn was one of the top sluggers of the ’90s but he also has the distinction of being one of the worst free agent signings in MLB history. The Angels signed the Red Sox slugger after the 1998 season for six years, $80 million. As SI’s Cliff Corcoran notes, Vaughn saw his production plummet when he left Fenway Park after the 1999 season (from a 148 OPS+ in his last six seasons there to a 117 OPS+ in his first two seasons in Anaheim), after which his body began to break down. He missed the 2001 season and was traded to the Mets that summer. (Harry How/Getty Images)
