The MLB free agency period has seen some hefty contracts, with Juan Soto's 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets raising eyebrows. While Soto's offensive prowess justifies the investment, other contracts have sparked debate over their value.

Max Fried's eight-year, $218 million contract with the New York Yankees is scrutinized for its length, despite his talent. Tyler O'Neill's three-year, $49.5 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles hinges on his health, while Nathan Eovaldi's three-year, $75 million contract with the Texas Rangers raises concerns due to his injury history.

Michael Conforto's one-year, $17 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers is seen as a slight overpay given his recent performance. Luis Severino's three-year, $67 million contract with the Oakland Athletics is a gamble based on his past injuries. Frankie Montas' two-year, $34 million deal with the New York Mets also raises questions due to his inconsistent performance. Lastly, Alex Cobb's one-year, $15 million contract with the Detroit Tigers could be a risk given his age and injury issues.
