4. JAYSON WERTH

2015 Salary: $21,571,00

Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports

2015 Stats: .185 AVG 3 HR 18 RBIs

Jayson Werth is the prime example of why baseball is the sport for athletes who want to get paid. He got paid far above his value by stringing together a few good seasons in Philly and being a fan favorite. This season he has battled through injuries and only played in 40 games, but still..hitting under the mendoza line and making $20 million this year is the straw breaking the camels back. The camel happens to be the Washington Nationals. Maybe he finishes the year strong? Maybe not? Either way, Werth is overpaid.
