Shout out to Zach Eflin. Dude took 5 straight 1 year contacts and turned it into a 3/$40m contract that ends before he turns 32. Miss that guy as a Phillie but he got paid and I'm happy for him
Baseball is such a wild sport. You can be a below average player for year then suddenly become an all star level player out of nowhere, and vice versa.
8:30 i always remember when he was coming up and they talked about he almost made 40 Errors 1yr in the minors😂 but man i remember i thought him and Danny Espinosa would form a uber athletic power speed combo up the middle for the Nats and it just never happened
Desi was my favorite player growing up watching the Nationals. I was sad to see him go but was happy to see him play well in Texas. I wish his stint in Colorado went better, but overall had a very solid career
They were dumb with him in Colorado. They were having him play 1st base. So I totally don’t blame him for opting out. Plus what he’s doing off the field to make it so black kids can play baseball is just fantastic.
I could be wrong I believe it was a one year deal but in 1990 Cecil Fielder signed to the Tigers and hit 50 homerun It might of been a 2 year deal but it could have been one
Man those Pirates wild card rotations were special. They were always full of journeymen but they got the job done. Volquez, AJ Burnett, JA Happ, Jeff Locke, Francisco Liriano, Charlie Morton, Wandy Rodriguez. Those teams were lightning in a bottle
Didn’t know which video to make this suggestion but you should break down the unusual contract of John Lackey that had him go from 6 straight 8 digit salary to league minimum then back to 8 figures on a new contract. I know why I just find it interesting and would love to hear your take
manager records dont matter tho. players not on the field dont contribute to wins or championships. people off the field dont contribute to anything on the field
How did Yasmani Grandal miss BOTH videos. After his horrible postseason with the Dodgers in 2018, he joined the Brewers on a one year deal. He had the best season of his career in EVERY category by a long shot. This then got him a massive deal with the White Sox, where he would then decline every year after
Does Aaron Judge count for a prove it deal? He turned down a lot of money before the 2022 season. What does he do? Breaks the AL HR Record, and got paid 360 Million by the Yankees that offseason.
players get paid for what they will do for their future team. no player gets paid for doing what they already got paid for with their primary contracts. people dont understand baseball pay. doesnt matter what a player does one season while already getting paid on a contract. players get paid for what theyll do in the future. not what they did in the past
Bartolo mentioned🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Large Lovely 😫
Big Sexy
The greatest baseball player ever
Massive meat 😩
No
“Sizable seductive” goes kinda hard lol

Great vid. Makes the most boring offseason in recent memory more enjoyable.
Shohei free agency and soto trade rumors were boring to you? Geez... Only couple weeks til pitchers and catchers already.
@@NYY300 nothing else interesting happened. Especially with my Jays lol
@@N394-l1f😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brandon Drury off the bench was insane in 2021
Baseball is such a wild sport. You can be a below average player for year then suddenly become an all star level player out of nowhere, and vice versa.
Loved Volquez when he was in PIT. One of those sleeper guys who was really good for stretches that people forget about nowadays.
We absolutely need a part 3, u should consider Andrew Heaneys 1-year deal with the Dodgers for the next part 😉
That deal was way too expensive to be a prove it deal 😂
I like the ones when the post prove it involves a WS title. It really shows they got the ultimate prize for their efforts.
8:30 i always remember when he was coming up and they talked about he almost made 40 Errors 1yr in the minors😂 but man i remember i thought him and Danny Espinosa would form a uber athletic power speed combo up the middle for the Nats and it just never happened
Part 3 definitely needs to happen. Keep up the good work Jolly Olive love the content!
RA Dickey on the Mets comes to mind.
Yankees suspiciously putting Hughes on the IL for dead arm when he was pitching terribly reminds me a lot of how I play OOTP Baseball lol
I have the damn game open rn while watching this vid in the background
Drury became my favorite player during his time on the Reds. I’m so glad he got a mention. He’s super underrated.
You know, padres not signing Drury for the 2023 season was a crime
Do the “worst” prove it deals next

This guy is too good for Jomboy Media
I'm absolutely crazy for a part three! Let's go!
I love your channel bro. Baseball is goated, and your videos are top tier. Keep it up my guy
👏 Keep 👏 Jolly 👏 smiling 👏
I could be wrong I believe it was a one year deal but in 1990 Cecil Fielder signed to the Tigers and hit 50 homerun It might of been a 2 year deal but it could have been one
1:28 It’s not Puertorican League, its Dominican Republic Winter League
I'm loving all the Power Pros music. We need someone to make a mod for updated rosters!
Man those Pirates wild card rotations were special. They were always full of journeymen but they got the job done. Volquez, AJ Burnett, JA Happ, Jeff Locke, Francisco Liriano, Charlie Morton, Wandy Rodriguez. Those teams were lightning in a bottle
And some guy named Gerrit
Bartolo shouldn't have won 2005 Cy Young, should've gone to Johan Santana which would've been 3 Cy Youngs for him and possibly a better shot at HOF.
Holy crap, Kevin Millwood made it!
Johnny cueto with the white Sox comes to mind as well
Didn’t know which video to make this suggestion but you should break down the unusual contract of John Lackey that had him go from 6 straight 8 digit salary to league minimum then back to 8 figures on a new contract. I know why I just find it interesting and would love to hear your take
Could you do Cody Bellinger next? I saw the tiny mention in pt. 1 but it'd be nice to get all the tiny details
Hate that I can’t make you smile since I’ve already subscribed…
that just means you made me smile a different time
I was happy for drury the talent was always there and you could tell he turned the corner with the Mets.
Tommy LaStella and Brian Goodwin are good recent angel one year prove it deals. We’re fan favorites when they were on the team
Should do a video on best early lock ups in history like what the tigers or royals did this year
Can we get a video about the best managers with a career losing record?
Examples include Bruce Bochey, Ned Yost, Ron Gardenhire and Jim Fergosi.
manager records dont matter tho. players not on the field dont contribute to wins or championships. people off the field dont contribute to anything on the field
@@nomercyinc6783 I mean leaving Pedro Martinez and Mark Prior in the game seemed to matter during the 2003 ALCS/NLCS.

He had the best season of his career in EVERY category by a long shot. This then got him a massive deal with the White Sox, where he would then decline every year after
I think Penik should have gotten a mention. He really took his role as a Matt Stairs kind of guy to help the Goodfellas
The braves outfield from there World Series run was kinda just 3 prove it players
Bartolo is DOMINICAN !
Part 3 - Nelson Cruz' prove it deal in 2014 with the Orioles.
check part one
Why?
Brandon Belt did so good last year! (After April) Go Blue Jays and great vid!❤
Angels legend Brandon drury
Jomboy sent me here. Didn’t even know this channel existed. Hello
Bartolo
PART 3! PART 3! PART 3!
Mike Moustakus 2019 Milwaukee
excellent
1:25 you mean Dominicana winter league
You kinda look like Dinelson Lamet
Jolly, When does the baseball united league start?
Do a pt 3 with Homer Bailey in it
He sucked after 2018 and then signed with the royals and ended up gettin payed after 2019
Marcus Semien should've been mentioned
Does Aaron Judge count for a prove it deal? He turned down a lot of money before the 2022 season. What does he do? Breaks the AL HR Record, and got paid 360 Million by the Yankees that offseason.
Bauer with Cincinnati. Got him a 100 million dollar contract, regardless of what happened later.
Scooter Gennett - Reds
I hate that you said “a couple of decades” and then mentioned 2005.
Like, you’re right, obviously.
But how DARE you!?
part 3!
Big Papi signed a one-year deal in 2003, does that count as a prove it deal?
100k on the way
Haven’t watched it but MATT CARPENTER
Turns out it's a lot easier to hit baseballs when you can see. Who knew?
can you add ian hamilton in part 3
Ian Desmond agent was dumb. Take that 107 mill
Maybe Yaz Grandal in 2019?
Let's go Monarchs!
how are there so many rangers
Scott Kazmir!!!
Jolly Olive 🫡
I kinda thought he might be on the list as a mets legend
I know ur bug time now but pirates coverage would be amazing 👏
ENGAGING FOR 100K!
Rich Hill!
Josh Donaldson signing with the braves
Next video trades where top prospects flopped. Like a team trading their star player for prospects that flopped
Dominican winter league*
Two parts and still no matt carpenter Yankees
JV 2022
That’s actually a fantastic suggestion. I forgot about that being a prove it deal
josh bell maybe??
do the opposite of this, where guys turn down big contracts only to never reach that same level again.
Colon played IN THE DOMINICAN league, not Puerto Rico
He played in both in 2010, actually
jason bay
Roger Clemons
Its was the Dominican league but hey good vid
Cody Bellinger
Do we get a pizza party when 100k subs is hit?
players get paid for what they will do for their future team. no player gets paid for doing what they already got paid for with their primary contracts. people dont understand baseball pay. doesnt matter what a player does one season while already getting paid on a contract. players get paid for what theyll do in the future. not what they did in the past
But it does matter. Predicting future success is absolutely influenced by prior success so I guess I don’t get your point
W Big Sexy on the Yanks
Oh, sweet Jack. I had the same terrible haircut when I was your age some 20 years ago.
Lfg
can I sub 3,000 more times? I would if I could player
Don’t ever start saying the last syllable of your sentences in a really high pitch. Good content
Huh? Lol
Bro just say point bruh whats w the corny ass 1 dot 2 era bs
