2021 payroll is at $72M which ranks 24th in the league. Surprisingly, the Indians are last with a payroll of $38M.

Rest of the central
KC #20 $82M
MN # 16 $117M


Dodgers #1 with $238M, $200M more than the Indians.
 
Indians are still better than us. Going to be another banner season in Tiger town.

you are probably right.

Even without Miggy's $30M contact, the Indians would still have a lower payroll than the Tigers


Indians $38M
Tigers $42M (without Miggy)

at least the rebuild might start to be fun soon, we could see some steps forward from Mize and SKubal, see Manning debut. Of course we need position player talent but Greene and Torkelson are a year or more away. the plan would likely to be able to put a mildly entertaining product out there this year and then hopefully start to spend in 2022 (if there is a season)
 
So far their offense appears to be as bad if not worse than ever this spring, if the team somehow avoids losing 100+ games this year, then it will likely be b/c of pitching. After starting 6-2 they have gone 2-8 over the past 10 Grapefruit League games. And yeah, I know that the abbreviated '20 season really screwed with their recent positional draft picks development in the minors....but so it did to every other MiLB team.

It's ST who cares. On the hand the team will stink what were you expecting? The best thing that happened was when the Braves claimed Demeritte.

2. Should be interesting

FIVE OF A KIND.
Totally Tigers

Five outfielders.

It was a subject of lengthy discussion held in Lakeland as the Tigers got closer and closer to Opening Day. Should they carry 5 outfielders or keep it to 4 and carry another pitcher?
At the time, it was actually a difficult decision as the team wanted to bring the best possible roster to Detroit.
The names? Oh, they were important ? all of them. So it seemed.

Let?s take a look.....
