It's only been a few days, but let's check in on those payrolls and budgets. We are nearing the last day of Arbitration so we still expect a few changes before moving into Free Agency. Our top 5 big spenders are:
- Honolulu 'Apapanes - $45M
- Columbus Corgis - $39.1M
- Augusta Squeeze - $38M
- Chicago Gunslingers - $35.3M
- Helena Hot Dogs - $34.8M
Our bottom 5 spenders include:
- Philadelphia Harpers - $-0.5M (saved a half million, must be investing mutual funds)
- Charlotte Centurions - $3.8M
- Pittsburgh Yinzers - $5.9M
- Santa Fe Surf Riders VIII - $6.5M
- Florida Springbreakers - $8.8M
Here's a look at the payrolls late-arbitration, listed by current payroll. Includes budget space remaining and how much they've spent on resigning free agents / arbitration / slush funds / ponzi schemes.
