The 10 worst contracts for players in the National League East right now
By Tim Boyle
4) Worst Contract in the NL East: Patrick Corbin
Consider this bad NL East contract grandfathered in as a permanent top five worst in the division. Patrick Corbin will finally end his tenure with the Washington Nationals after the 2024 season. However, they still have $35.4 million on the books to pay him next season.
Corbin was a huge part of the 2019 Nationals that managed to win a World Series. He came over from the Arizona Diamondbacks in free agency, won them 14 regular season games while logging a 3.25 ERA and amassing 202 innings.
The wheels began to fall off in the shortened 2020 season. Nobody allowed more hits (85) than Corbin. The following two seasons, Corbin would lead the league in a few more categories. His 16 losses in 2021 and 19 in 2022 were the most of any pitcher. He also gave up the most earned runs both seasons, led the league in home runs surrendered in 2021 and allowed the most hits in 2022.
A lot of bold text is usually good on a Baseball-Reference page. This isn’t the case with pitchers.
Corbin has had a slightly better year in 2023. He may still lead the league in hits allowed, but at least his ERA has a chance to finish below 5.00 for the first time since 2020.
