With the year about to switch to 2020, a new decade will start, and perhaps some new teams will enter the playoffs in 2020. Let’s check in to see what teams are spending the most, figures are based on salary added for the 2020 year. For example, our #1 team, the Yankees have spent over $300MM this year, but allocating $46.0M towards their salary this year.
Usually, this is an indication which teams are planning to be competitive, but in some instances, where the Dodgers haven’t spent much, isn’t indicative on how competitive they will be.
