The next time you start feeling sorry for some major-league baseball player, try to remember this story. According to current estimates,
the total payroll of the 30 MLB teams will approach four billion dollars. Tell us again why this group of 'workers' needs a
union? Just since this past November, teams have shelled out $2.4 billion in
guaranteed money to just 99 free agents. The Dodgers and
Evil Ones will have payrolls
in excess of $200 million ($235M and $229M, respectively). Your 2016
Carmine Hose will slot in at #3 in overall payroll—with an estimated outlay of $197 million. Just keep rooting for the
laundry—not necessarily the spoiled little rich boys who
temporarily occupy that laundry.
