It’s sometimes hard to know exactly how difficult it is to actually sign free agents without taking into account what other teams might be willing to spend. Hence, why it’s somewhat useful to see what opposing teams have to spend. I covered the NL Central and West in the first part, and both East divisions in the second part. The final part is me finishing up the American League. This time, I’ll start with the teams I haven’t covered.
AL West
Angels
The Angels 2023 budget of $215 million was its largest in its last five years, which is interesting because when I think of Angels, I assume they’ve had larger budgets than that.
