Nothing free about Free Agency

 Jessica Fletcher - contributing reporter


Here we are at the end of the Free Agency period and you are probably left wondering where all of your money went. Did you spend it wisely, did you make the right decisions, will you be waiving the players you signed this time next year? Is Tarraga worth $30M this season? Will Koyie Ward be traded before his first regular season game in a Tropics uniform? 

Let's look at the big spenders since Arbitration. 

  1. Oklahoma City Barons - $28.5M
  2. Chicago Gunslingers - $26.7M
  3. Washington DC Nationals - $25.7M
  4. Buffalo Bisons - $25.1M
  5. Salt Lake City Tabernacles - $24.6M
  6. Pittsburg Yinzers - $23.7M
  7. Santa Fe Surf Riders VIII - $22.5M
  8. New York Empire - $20.2M
  9. Huntington Tropics - $18.3M
  10. Helena Hot Dogs - $17.2M
Let's check out the current payrolls and remaining budget. That might give us a hint on who is looking to spend big in the International market this season. ($ values listed in Millions)
