clearly they are not taxing them enough. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 08:48 9
- It brings their total 2009 payroll spend to $252M, clearing the rest of the league by a full $100M. - TFox Dec 22, 08:49 8
  - hence, it is not much of a deterrant to keep some sort of competetive balance. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 08:50 7
    - I am equally disturbed by the teams pretending to field a professional team at less than $50M of payroll, fwiw. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 08:52 6
      - I agree completely. - groiny Dec 22, 08:57 5
        
        I wonder how bad the Marlins lease is given the revenue sharing.... - Will Hunting Dec 22, 09:00

        Which is why I don't really think there is as big of a salary problem as some. You have one douchebag way up top, and a few at the bottom. - TFox Dec 22, 08:59

- (don't forget the Cubs and Phillies. all five teams between $138M-$142M of payroll in 2009.) -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 08:46

- close enough. $174M. Boston paid $14M for the years 2004-2007, and the Tigers and Angels each paid about $1M. -- (link) - TFox Dec 22, 08:45 3
  - Yeah b*tches! And I don't even follow basketball. -- nm - Loyola Dec 22, 08:47 2
    - Bulls, Cubs, same thing. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 08:51
