As it stands now between Scherzer, Degrom, Cano and Lindor is 140 million in salary for 2022. That's more than 22 teams entire payrolls from 2021. I can't wrap my head around these numbers lol.
That’s wild. And as other have pointed out, they’re probably not serious contenders. I’d have to think the owner will probably spend more on free agents this year to make sure they are in contention. If I’m a free agent and looking to cash in I’m calling my agent to knock on that owners door because he’s desperate.
