We’re bottom of the league in guaranteed salary… thoughts?

What is the second axis?
Wtf is the x axis?
Just means we’ll be ready to splash some cash on big free agents right? Right??
Woohoo go Rays!
I would have liked the graph to show the # of players being paid on the X axis, or even the WAR or said players.
I still think it’s interesting to see regardless. Falling below teams like Miami and Chicago is a bit disheartening. Long road ahead from what it seems
When your league salary chart needs to be logarithmically scaled, you know you have a serious problem.
Where would we be if Franco’s contract was included?
This is why we need a salary cap AND a salary floor. The disparity is insane.

I think the 2028/2029 Rays are going to be sick but until then hang in there
I like to assume new ownership is holding off on all spending until the stadium situation is completely set, but who knows..
Still gonna do better than the Rockies.
If you rotate your screen/phone 180 degrees, we’re top.
We have room to grow loll
MLB is a joke until they figure out a more fair pay structure. It should be about the play on the field, not how rich your owner is.
