Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 2885389, member: 97"] Correction, for one year, 2018, the Red Sox outspent the Yankees. In 2017 both teams had almost identical starting payrolls ($196m vs $197m) and the Yankees year end payroll was dramatically higher ($224m vs $191m) because of in-season acquisitions. At no point in the prior twelve years did the Red Sox come close to the Yankees. This is the first year the Red Sox have exceeded $200m, a figure the Yankees exceeded way back in 2005. While the Yankees and then the Dodgers set records many times over the last 20 years, the Red Sox have never held the record for highest payroll (currently held by the Dodgers at more than $270m in 2015). Sorry to bring a few facts to your absurd rant. [/QUOTE]
