Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

That's Why We're Paying $6.75 a Beer at Wrigley-- Part 2

The Cub payroll is the third highest in the Majors at $146,859,000 with an average of $5,439,222. Well, that goes a long way toward explaining it.

The New York Yankees, of course, have the highest payroll at $206,333,389 for an average of $8,253,336 a man. At that price, they should win the World Series every year.

My White Sox, those lovable 4-9 guys, have the 7th highest payroll at $108,273,197, or $4,164,354 per. I wonder how that comes out compared to strike outs and runners left in scoring position?

After #9 LA Angels, the payrolls drop below $100 million with two teams under $50 million: #29 San Diego at $37,799,300 and #30 Pittsburgh at $34,943,000.

1955 Comment: Did you hear that some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000? Some day they might make more than the president.
