@JeffPassan @EthanHullihen The Pirates are a joke. They haven't spent close to league average in terms of payroll/revenue for two decades.

@travisinLB Teams don’t share 48% of their revenue. It is a complicated formula based on a net revenue #. An estimated 6% of gross revenues are shared across the league. A team like the Yankees might so 20% of gross revenue .

@Jasoncostigan @MLBcathedrals Found it.

@Jack_Moore7 For reference, red sox percentage of revenue spent on players is below MLB average and below pretty much every big market team.

@metspolice And perhaps most importantly to your point of working the system and getting those revenue sharing central funds, it looks like the Brewers have been doing better than the A's, though these numbers are 4 years old so maybe no longer valid. 4/4.

@jonmorosi It's been dying for over a century, so it must be doing something right.

@YankeesFiles The Yankees signed Vernon Wells for accounting reasons.

@TheRealGMoney76 Even that doesn't work. It just encourages pointless spending. There needs to be a system like this:

@paulisci Did the same exercise a while back. Baseball has died so many times, it puts a cat to shame. @mike_petriello

@baseballhall He was also an early pioneer of analytics. A revolutionary figure, imo. If there was a Mount Rushmore for baseball GMs he would be on it.

@Anton_Zitz @Brooks_Gate This comparison is better done with same year final payrolls, related expenses and revenue (see link), but the gist is the same. Yankees are below league average spenders.

More recently, Sterling became know for his HR calls, which cemented his cult status. When I was actively maintaining my blog, nothing was more popular than the John Sterling Project.

@rational_yankee Generally, fans tend to misunderstand the full impact of these players and are quick to bury the team for massive contracts given to star performers. For example, see this work by @williamnyy23. I’m not convinced after a month that Judge is a “bust.”.

@JamesSmyth621 Up until 2019, I kept track of a various postseason trends during the wild card era. I wish I had the time to update the historical section. Interestingly, 2019 was a bit of an outlier year in many regards.
