Former Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher David Price just became the latest lefty hurler to be ridiculously overpaid by an MLB team.
Price signed the largest deal in MLB history on Tuesday, inking a seven-year, $217 million deal with the Boston Red Sox. He earned more money than both Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer.
The former Blue Jays ace is coming off another poor postseason campaign, and has still yet to win a start in the playoffs.

As a member of the Tigers and Blue Jays, Price put together a 18-5 record with a 2.45 ERA in 2015.
Price, who will be 31 next year, just earned $31 million per year. Let that marinate for a second.
