The Red Sox are number 1 in payroll because they added JD Martinez and have a lot of dead money on the payroll.
They were the only team that went above the luxury tax threshold. The Yankees and Dodgers which have spent more this year decided to get under the luxury tax threshold to restart the penalties for going over and because next year’s FA class is so good they didn’t want to spend this offseason.
Machado, Harper, Kershaw, and others will cause the Yankees and Dodgers to pass the Red Sox payroll next year when Pablo Sandoval, Hanley Ramirez, Rusney Castillo’s contracts come off the Red Sox books.
I don’t expect you to know this stuff but this is the first year the Red Sox will spend more than the Yankees.

Their is a reason the A-Rod went to the Yankees in 2004. The Red Sox wouldn’t spend the money that George Steinbrenner and the Yankees would.

The Red Sox are the evil empire to everyone but the Yankees in the AL but they aren’t the Yankees. I wish they were.

To your point Syracuse isn’t a small market team. We are a large market team.
