Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."
The four teams in the two League Championship Series this year rank, per Spotrac, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 24 in cash payrolls.
I’m pretty sure you can guess who No. 24 is. (FWIW, the Cubs are sixth in the Spotrac ranking.)
The Dodgers (1), Mets (2) and Yankees (3) have attempted to buy themselves a championship and they just might succeed.
