Much ado has been made so far this offseason about the spending of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Of course, they aren’t the biggest spenders this off-season, those would be the New York Mets. Together, those teams have spent nearly as much ($1.3 billion) on free agents as the other 28 teams combined ($1.5 billion). The Mets alone have spent as much as the bottom 25 spenders. The payroll discrepancies in baseball are inarguably out of control, which has caused many to renew their cries for a salary cap.
