This is the saddest, lowest, most Barves-iest thing we’ve seen in a long time. Losing baseball games happen. Losing games to a player you got rid of happens. Losing because of a guy YOU’RE STILL PAYING is a special feat.
The Braves are paying Dan Uggla almost $13 million this year. Essentially, they just paid him $78,343 to beat them. Here are less disappointing ways to spend that much money:
- Buy 5,600 tickets to Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
- Buy out a small regional theme park for a day and ride every ride alone realizing you have nobody to go with.
- Throw the money off a bridge.
- Purchase a beautiful vase from a gallery, and eat it.
