The annual 7yankee7 recruitment post once again reminds me that it's time to look at future budgets. Here is who has the most committed in future seasons. List in order of most future money committed. In the 'Future salary is future owner problems' is still the Chicago Gunslingers with just under $200M; down again from last year. Not far behind him is Huntington ($183M) and Atlanta ($181M). Least on the books is Mexico City with a mere $2M on the books. There are 4 teams with zero dollars committed for S59 or beyond. Seems every team is pinching pennies and being a little more careful in what they spend these days. Gone are the days of the big contracts! The average commitment in the league is $46M next year, down to $26 then $16, then $5.
