"$752M - $549M = $203M $335M - $137M = $193M $379M - $175M = $204M $432M - $235M = $197M I think this chart is just telling us that running an MLB franchise has fixed costs and extremely variable revenues"

"How is anyone supposed to compete with a $752m revenue & $549m payroll team The Phillies made $519m last year which is 5th in mlb but spending $550m and losing money is not realistic"

"@RafaelaReport @UnderdogMLB @ByMcCullough % of rev spent on payroll is ridiculous because every team has $200M+ of fixed operating costs that stupid chart ignores. Subtract $200M of revenue then it's CLE: $132M/$136M = 97%; LAD: $549M/$552 = 99%. Both teams spend all of their revenue LAD just have 4-5x more"

"@Purdy4MVP25 @TheGiantsFan916 @octoberstanton Incorrect. Most teams have an excess of $200m unused revenue Ohtani/Yama/Snell/Mookie/Freeman/Teo cost $200m If any team uses it to get them it means the dodgers dont. And therefor dodgers $549m payroll would be $200m less. It would be $349m which is not crazy at all"
