Bauer goes to Dodgers for $40MM this year (with opt out against $45 MM next year. Over-under on Pirates 40-man payroll for the year? Which is higher?

Bet the under with every $ you can muster.

It's hard to imagine the payroll being over $40 million.

It’s already being reported that Bauer will make more than the entire 26 man Pirate Roster which is projected to be $38M

$11M of that is Polanco’s contract

If they trade Frazier, the under is a lock.

Bauer will probably make more than the entire 2021 Pirate payroll, but it is about time the mid and small market teams ban together and force a floor and possibly a cap on team salaries. I wouldn’t care if there is no MLB in 2022 as long as this large divide in team payroll could be rectified. All MLB teams should be able to compete for a championship year in and year out, and not just to have a couple year window to get there. It is not all cheap Bob Nutting,the entire salary structure in baseball is broken. It is time to make some changes.
