I’ll continue the estimating budgets series, because it’s not a whole lot useful to just know the NL West and Central. Today I’ll be covering the East divisions, which features a mixture of high payroll teams (Yankees, Mets, Red Sox) and some very low payroll teams (Marlins, Rays, Nationals).
To give you a quick refresher on the teams I’ve already covered, just for some frame of reference:
NL Central
Estimated current payroll: $165 million
Estimated 2024 budget: $185 million (according to the owner)
Room for a SP?
