Wow 3 things that immediately pop out......
LOL @ Yankees paying A-Rod $29 million
2nd and third.....I don't know what's worse, Teams like Yankees and Dodgers over $225 million or the Astros only spending $25 million......
I'm not in favor of a salary cap per sey, but there should not be that big of a difference between the highest and lowest salaries......
I think they need to do something with what they have in place, maybe make it more of a financial hit to go over a soft cap, but they can't just then take the money and give it to greedy owners that are gonna field a team for $25 million and pocket the rest of the revenue sharing from the high market teams......

the only question in 2013 for the AL's newest team is whether it will finish fifth or ... very fifth.

Interesting that only three teams are paying the top 6 salaries. The last two players I'd pick are Teixeira and A-Rod.

Houstons like the 4th largest city in the US. No reason for a market like that to embarrass themselves. Its ridiculous. F the yanks tho. Im glad they're paying a rod that much. Hopefully these bad contracts start showing on the win/loss record.

I'm sure most have seen it...
I always enjoy reading Cot's team-by-team payroll lists at BP. You can also see their futre obligations. (So nice to see that Boston only has $29M booked in 2015.)

And to avoid future confusion - Luxury tax calcualtions are based on Average Annual Value. The AAV is usually a different number than the annual payroll.
