In this episode, Joey discusses the recent report that Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is contemplating retirement. Joey begins the episode by reviewing Rendon's tenure with the Angels, from his total games missed to his declining offensive production. During this episode, he considers where Rendon's current $245 million contract ranks among the top ten worst MLB contracts of all-time. Joey breaks down mostly expired contracts from the 21st century with only two of the contracts still being active: Rendon's agreement with the Angels and outfielder Kris Bryant's deal with the Colorado Rockies.

Oftentimes, players are rightfully paid around the age of 30 years old, due to their strong production in three consecutive seasons prior to hitting free agency.
