Parity, Schmarity
I just came upon this little beauty on mlbtraderumors.com. This is a list of what each MLB team will spend in 2010 on their starting rotation:
- Yankees - $63,157,650
- Cubs - $50,775,000
- Red Sox - $42,263,500
- Mets - $38,087,500
- White Sox - $36,200,000
- Cardinals - $35,925,000
- Giants - $33,850,000
- Tigers - $32,670,000
- Phillies - $31,805,000
- Braves - $31,467,000
- Angels - $29,965,000
- Royals - $25,110,000
- Reds - $24,700,000
- Astros - $23,916,000
- Rockies - $23,500,000
- Diamondbacks - $22,008,925
- Dodgers - $21,679,000
- Mariners - $20,550,000
- Brewers - $18,565,000
- Indians - $17,115,500
- Padres - $15,355,000
- Rangers - $14,181,090
- Orioles - $13,668,125
- Athletics - $13,210,000
- Twins - $12,790,000
- Nationals - $10,224,000
- Pirates - $10,013,500
- Marlins - $9,645,000
- Rays - $9,473,333
- Blue Jays - $4,085,000
- Tim Dierkes painfully points out that the Blue Jays will pay more to Roy Halladay in 2010 than they will pay their entire rotation. Pretty gutting to realize we are spending almost 60 million dollars less on our starting staff than the Yankees. Keep fighting that salary cap MLBPA. 2010 is sure to be a thriller in Florida, Pittsburgh, Washington, etc., as usual.
