Which contracts would MLB teams love to void?

In light of the discussions that the Yankees will attempt (and likely fail) to void the remaining five years and $119 million left on Alex Rodriguez's contract, that got us thinking: what contracts would teams love to just completely wipe off their books?

Joe Saunders is being severely overrated

Yesterday's news cycle was dominated by performance enhancing drugs in light of the Miami New-Times report about the Biogenesis clinic in Miami.

Jayson Werth’s beard is out of control (again)

Like most teams, the Washington Nationals ran a fanfest over this weekend. Among the players at NatsFest was right fielder Jayson Werth, who once again resembled a caveman.
