I think this will raise payrolls by about $400K. Major league minimum for 2020 is $563,500. But payroll for tax purposes is based on the 40 man roster. That will now include 14 minor leaguers instead of 15. It looks like minor leaguers on the 40 man make about $150,000.

They ended up going over by 2.5 million.
-
Would that really be worth it? We gave up an excellent prospect in Buttrey as it was.
-
Good post.
-
Well, those deadline acquisitions they made in 2018 helped them win the World Series, so I'd call that a point.
-
He also stays healthy and eats innings.
-
It's been rumored, quite plausibly, that the Yanks will sign Maldonado because of his excellent CERA with Cole.
-
Sweet, he even got a raise.
-
Sometimes you have no choice but to get worse now to be better later. Like in 2012 with the Dodgers trade.
-
It's worth noting that the contracts of Tanaka, Paxton & LeMahieu all expire in 2020.
-
Not to worry, I see Clay Buchholz taking Porcello's place.
-
So we would have to replace 3 starters. Meanwhile the cheaper options are being priced at 9-10 million. You must think Bloom is Merlin and Gandalf rolled into one LOL
-
Every case is different IMHO.
-
Now we must prepare ourselves for the inevitable reminder that he doesn't measure his personal worth by the success, or lack of, of his sports teams.
-
Sorry, like I say, we're usually talking LT number now...
-
Yeah, it's like he's trying to be objective, but then the little demon inside takes over...
-
In fairness, we're usually talking luxury tax numbers these days. I interpreted your number the same way Jax did.
-
Yeah I think that was an honest (though strange) mistake by infrequent poster VJCPatriot.
-
Agreed, they are going below $208.
-
There would be some angst, with scribes and message board wizards pointing out that he threw 249 innings last year and 462 innings the last 2 years-massive totals by today's standards-and suggesting it may have caught up to him.
-
We have you and Slasher here to batter them, so it's all good.
-
Joel and the other New York Post boys will be the first ones to lose their minds if Gerrit Cole gets off to a shaky start in the Apple.
-
And he pitched 202 high-quality innings in 2018, postseason included. Funny how the window you choose changes everything.
-
I guarantee that isn't the plan.
