Future Payrolls

[MrTPlush]

Right, and a note for everyone to consider, anything over $105 million will be an all-time franchise high. Mark A has repeatedly signed off on going over budget when the team was in position to contend.

 

And important to note that sky high record was over half a decade ago. Basic inflation would say that would be about $115mil now...though I believe they said that payroll was putting them at a loss. Regardless anything in that range would be a pretty good guess. The TV deal is coming. There is an old article out there that stated when it is "rumored" to end...but I believe 2019 was the year. I am not sure how big of an increase we will see on that front, but it will be well into the 8 figures yearly even if we are a small market. Our deal is stupidly outdated.

 

Long term I think our payroll could be sustained at $125mil or slightly more I we competed consistently enough.
