From Yahoo! Sports:

Sox will pay 6.06 in Luxury Tax this year. Yankees will pay 22.83 million.

 

Since the LT began four years ago:

 

Red Sox: 13.86m

Yankees: 121.6 m

 

Don't believe what some people here say folks: The Red Sox and the Yankees, even WITH the Sox recent big-money spending, are largely different beasts. They both spend aggressively, but one of them seems to do it with reference to the luxury tax and the other doesn't.

 

Merry Christmas.

Yankees drop from 26 million to 23, it's a start.

I'd say World Series title-related revenue exceeds 6 mil so meh

Total revenue for each playoff game played at home during the playoffs usually exceeds a million by a little bit. So, 8 home games, probably around 8 million bucks, plus, being able to run NESN that deep into the playoffs has to bring in a good deal too.
