Baseball needs a salary cap in the worst way. Selig’s efforts to share revenue,

tax payrolls, etc. narrowed the gap somewhat, but outside of the 3 or 4 teams that can perennially contend, a rebuild is always right around the corner which may or may not work out.

The NFL figured this out a long time ago, but the MLBPA will never allow it.

Its true that 6 of the top 10 payrolls in MLB are in the playoffs. But I find it

The gap between the Dodgers and the Astros is enough to cover the entire payroll of the Rays

Yes, but I’ll bet they pay their tech folks big, big money to keep them from getting caught cheating.

Both the NFL and MLB have had 13 different champions. So both models are working

There’s a huge difference. In MLB there are 3 teams who take a playoff spot

It’s also really interesting to see how much the Dodgers make compared to other

They actually are 2nd to the Yankees and not that far ahead of the several teams

Does this take in to account the new $8.35 billion, 25-year TV deal

The Dodgers also sold 500,000 more tickets than 2nd place this year

Nice to see that move from Brooklyn finally starting to pay off. 😉

I would assume it took in all sources of revenue.

I don’t think it is accurate

To me, it's also crazy that the Yankees aren't first anymore

Dodgers payroll > TB + MIL + OAK payrolls
