Hey folks,

Just scanning the MLB website re team salaries.

Using the regular method of accounting, the Yankees finished with a $207.5 million payroll for their 40-man roster, according to final figures released Friday by the commissioner's office, up from $206.6 million in 2005.

Boston was a distant second this year at $137.5 million, followed by the Mets ($116.6 million), Houston ($107.7 million), the Dodgers ($107.2 million) and the Angels ($104 million).

The World Series champion Cardinals were 10th at $96.1 million, and the AL champion Tigers were 14th at $89.8 million.

Florida, last at $21.1 million, had less than half the payroll of Pittsburgh, 28th at $43.4 million. Tampa Bay was in between them at $36.4 million.

Management calculated the average salary at $2,642,915. The players' association, whose calculation method differs slightly, had the average at $2,699,292 in its annual report this week.

It's time to concentrate more on my sons pitching ability.
 
I used to follow the Braves (Ron Gant and Dave Justice) back in the day when Channel 9 would show games late at night. Am I correct in saying that there is no salary cap in MLB?
 
There is a salaray cap! Isn't it just financial penalties for owners...... that pale into consideration against the gains that can be made? COs why the **** would Oakland play money ball on shitty total salary.... man if its just cos our owner is a tight arse and doesn't wanna pay for all the free agents we lost i'm gonna change teams....


well not really... but dammit!
