They weren't here long, but they were here long enough to feel the fanbase's wrath. Let's look back at some of the most hated short-term Philly athletes.

The Eagles thought they were getting one of the three best cornerbacks in football in 2011 when they signed Nnamdi Asomugha to a five-year, $60 million contract with $25 million guaranteed.
Asomugha had been a First-Team All-Pro in two of the prior three years with the Raiders and was so suffocating against receivers that quarterbacks simply stopped throwing his way. The Cowboys were also in on Asomugha which was icing on the cake for the Birds.
It worked out disastrously, with Asomugha lasting just two seasons in Philly and the Eagles' having one of their worst defenses in franchise history the second year, allowing 27.8 points per game.
In those two seasons, quarterbacks were 73 for 113 (65%) against Asomugha with nine TDs. The lasting images of his time here are car-lunches and him throwing his hands up in the air, looking to his safeties asking where the help was.

The poster child for Philadelphia sports disappointment. A Sixers team mired in mediocrity acquired Bynum in August 2012 in a four-team trade that sent Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets and Nikola Vucevic and Mo Harkless to the Magic.
Bynum never played a game for the Sixers because of a bad right knee, his status continually delayed. Despite already being sidelined and having a history of knee injuries, he then also injured his left knee bowling. In the short time Bynum was here, he didn't seem like he wanted to be here or that he cared much at all about basketball.
Vucevic, who wasn't even the main piece the Sixers traded away, has turned into an All-Star who kills them every time he plays them.

Rodriguez had a strange summer here in 2019 as a utilityman. He played in only 76 games for the Phillies but guaranteed himself a lifetime of boos from Philly fans for referring to them as "entitled."
Rodriguez struggled at the plate here, hitting .223 and going 1 for 20 in a month-long span before a walk-off home run against the Pirates. After that game, which should have been his best night as a Phillie, he defended himself and a struggling Rhys Hoskins against the boos they had been receiving.
"Who's looking bad and feeling entitled when you hear stuff like that?" he said. "I'm not the one booing. I'm not the one screaming. I'm not the one saying pretty disgusting things at times. That seems pretty entitled. You're just making yourself look pretty bad as an individual, as a person, as a fan."
Unsurprisingly, Rodriguez was booed the next night and all subsequent nights at Citizens Bank Park.

The Fultz experience was excruciating. He was in a pressure-packed situation that he was clearly incapable of rising to or meeting. There were and maybe still are maturity issues. He's now shown up out of shape multiple times for multiple teams.
The Sixers babied him publicly and privately, which probably didn't help him long term, even if it made things feel smoother on the surface.

He had a 6.10 ERA in 268⅔ innings as a Phillie and was booed when he received his World Series ring after the 2008 season.

By trading LeSean McCoy and signing DeMarco Murray before the 2015 season, Chip Kelly thought he was enhancing a strength of his Eagles offense with a straight-ahead tackle-breaker while also taking an integral piece away from the rival Cowboys.
Ugh.
Murray averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry in his one season with the Eagles and became infamous around here for shying away from contact. A year after leading the NFL with 1,845 rushing yards and 13 TDs, he had 702 and six. He had one game with more than 83 rushing yards. He never fit in, schematically or in the locker room.
Kelly's offense that season was so frustratingly predictable and, by the end, he wasn't getting the most from any of his skill players.
A year after signing a five-year, $40M contract with over $20 million guaranteed with the Eagles, Murray was traded to Tennessee for nothing but a swap of fourth-round picks. In his first year with the Titans, he rushed for 1,287 yards and nine TDs.

You're probably noticing a trend here of successful veterans coming to Philadelphia and falling wildly short of expectations.
The Phillies traded two promising young pitchers, Gavin Floyd and Gio Gonzalez, to the White Sox for Garcia in December 2006. To that point in his career, the 30-year-old Garcia was 116-71 with an ERA 12% better than the league average.
Remember, this was an era when pitcher wins were still valued heavily. Garcia had seasons of 18, 17, 17 and 16 wins in his first eight years. He was viewed as such — a winning, top-of-the-rotation sort of arm. The Phillies thought they were acquiring either an ace or a No. 2 starter.
Remember, too, that it was the acquisition of Garcia that emboldened Jimmy Rollins to make his "team to beat" comment. In that regard, the trade "worked." In every other tangible way, it didn't.
Garcia, who had been dealing with a shoulder injury throughout this time, lasted 11 starts with the Phillies and went 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA.

Tartabull is representative of so many veterans acquired by the Phillies over the years who came in with a track record but were quickly injured and rendered ineffective.
Tartabull was supposed to be a middle-of-the-order thumper here in 1997 but fouled a pitch off his foot in his first at-bat, breaking the foot. He went 0 for 7 in three games, went on the DL and never played in the majors again.
Tartabull had 27 homers and 101 RBI for the White Sox the year before. He had an .865 OPS over the previous five seasons with four years of 25+ homers and three with 100+ RBI.
This has happened to the Phillies quite a bit over the last several decades. Mike Jackson, David Robertson, Clay Buchholz, Charlie Morton. Not the best luck signing vets.
