Our payroll was more than Cleveland? Is this chart correct? I'm just surprised
Thanks

Seems right, Cleveland is notoriously cheap
. We’re in a division with 3 cheap teams. Then it’s us and the royals who are mid cheap
Just keep in mind on revenue these are only estimates since teams don’t need to publicly disclose what they are making. If they did then fans would really have a leg to stand on when talking about under-spending.
So every single team made at least 10% ROI and the majority make 50% not even including the increase is valuation of the franchise.
But go ahead and tell the players they make too much and the league needs a salary cap, give me a god damn break.
Don’t forget the side deals where the top players are paid off the books, ‘working’ for a shell-company. Oh wait a minute, that’s the NBA. Never mind.
They should be spending up to the tax line. No reason the payroll shouldn’t be $240 million.
Essentially $35M of the payroll this year was wasted namely Cobb, Maeda, Paddack, Morton, Sewald, Brebbia. Not even considering the other suboptimal additions.
Without the grasping at straws, there is a significant amount of funds to invest in this team instead of the shotgun approach we went with this year.
The revenue side is disappointing.
Maybe sign a decent Television package deal and then we can afford Skubal. That’s clearly the difference.
Look at the Brewers. 24th and in the NLCS. Impressive.
