PHOENIX, AZ – APRIL 24: Yasmany Tomas /

#2 Yasmany Tomas – $10.00 Million in 2018 ($11,416,667 Million AAV)

Another signing by the previous front office group widely panned by fans and analysts alike, even at the time.

Yasmany Tomas was signed during a period of Cuban free agent frenzy in recent Major League Baseball history that hit its fever pitch in 2014 when Tomas signed for six years and $68.5 million.

At an even $10 million salary in 2018, Tomas is still on the “Diamondbacks-friendly” front end of his deal this year.
