  3. Interesting…I guess, but what does it prove. The Dodgers and Rockies have a similar number but are a world apart in wins.

  4. Pretty interesting, usually when I have looked at this the bad teams have surpluses and the good teams have deficits.

    Seems like recently more of the good teams have started to invest their financial advantage into player development and such instead of paying aging stars, so they are acting like the shrewd small market teams of 20 years ago. But then also writing the odd giant check when they find a superstar.

  5. Maybe we just…..chill on the stats.

    Baseball and stats (while an old tradition) has become like a codependent abusive relationship. They need some space. And therapy.

  7. This is basically showing that high spending teams are highly inefficient and the opposite is true for low spending teams. Which makes sense, most of the highest contracts probably don’t make back the cost for WAR. But who cares if you are willing/able to pay a premium for high WAR players

  8. Your goal shouldn’t be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins. In order to buy wins, you need to buy runs.

  14. I’m not sure how useful this is, but I’m in support of anything that says the Yankees suck

  15. Does this account for things like Correa being a 900 ops guy after we picked him up or is it just his full season WAR?

    Also curious about things like slumps for players we’ve had all year and injuries, example is Yordan weighing this number down since he’s out all year, same question with Walker playing terrible first half and being like 850-900 ops second half

  16. I would’ve loved to not be dead last after such an awesome 2024 run, finally seeing the end of like $100m in dead contracts, AND picking up Soto. But we caught the slump bug bad and often this year. There’s still time to make up some of it and make the postseason tho…barely.
