By now it’s old news that the Boston Red Sox made a major power play at the Major League Baseball winter meetings.

Spoiler alert for those who missed the news: Days after trading with the San Diego Padres for slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and “signing” him to a lucrative long-term an extension, Boston shelled out a similar deal for free-agent outfielder Carl Crawford.

But I don’t think you’re the only over-paid player on this top-25 list.
