[
The off-season is over! Spring training is here! The dust has finally settled for the hot stove season, and while some teams enter the 2023 season with a familiar roster, others have a whole new look.
Yes, it helps to have an owner who is willing to spend money, but there is no curve valuation here. If Padres can have one of the highest salaries in the sport, then the owner of a local small market can afford to spend a little more.
Let’s give away some off-season scores – from the clubs that dominated the off-season to the ones that left a lot to be desired.
Go to command:
AL Vostok: BAL | LS | New York | TB | TK
AL Central: CHW | CLE | DET | CS | MIN.
AL West: NEW | HOLY | OAK | SEA | TEX
NL East: ATL | MIA | New York | FI | VS
Netherlands Central: CHC | CIN | MIL | PIT | STL
North Carolina West: ARI | QTY | LAD | SD | SF
New York Mets
Additions: RHP Justin Verlander, RHP Kodai Senga, LHP Jose Quintana, RHP David Robertson, LHP Brooks Reilly, C Omar Narvaez, OF Tommy Pham (re-signed OF Brandon Nimmo, RHP Edwin Diaz, RHP Adam Ottavino)
Departures: RHP Jacob deGrom, RHP Chris Bassitt, RHP Taiquan Walker, RHP Seth Lugo, RHP Trevor Williams, C James McCann
The Mets’ salary, including tax penalties, would be a projected $468.5 million, more than $150 million more than the Yankees’ salary. This inevitably caused some backlash from other owners. Cry in baseball. “I’m not responsible for how other teams run their clubs,” owner Steve Cohen told Sportzshala’s Jeff Passan in a recent interview.
