Part 7/10:
4. Xander Bogaerts
At number four is Xander Bogaerts, still considered valuable but with a high Panic level. Since signing an 11-year, $280 million contract with the Padres, his performance has not echoed his former glory in Boston. With a negative valuation of -87 million, the continuing decline in his OPS is causing concern for Padres fans who were optimistic upon his arrival.
3. Manny Machado
While Manny Machado maintains a low Panic level thanks to his continued productivity, his contract holds an alarming weight. Sitting at 11 years and $350 million, his future financial commitments raise eyebrows, especially as he ages and potentially transitions into a less demanding role. He carries a negative value of -98.2 million, which could complicate future trades.
