Balta1701 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Major League Baseball teams cut payrolls by $47 million from opening day in 2008 to the first day of this season, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. That was a drop of 1.7 percent, the first drop since 2004 and just the second since the 1994-95 strike. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 A 2% drop is nothing, but I bet it isn't long before the players union starts crying about collusion somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there's a small amount of inflation in there I believe, so it's a little higher than that in real dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
