A new low in cheap

Brad K · Today, 08:41 AM

We have ample evidence that Pirate management is cheap. Now they've cut Rowdy Tellez 4 PAs short of him making a $200k bonus.

I may go to ST games with a shirt "Pay Tellez You B******s"

And if they follow this up with not signing McCutchen for 2025 I'm done with them.

A tale of two teams in 2023:

Pittsburgh spent a total of $72,518,237 on players over the course of the season and won 76 games. That's $954,187 per win. The New York Mets spent a total of $319,533,995 on players over the season and won 75 games. That's $4,260,453 per win.

Final team payroll figures for the 2024 season won't be available for some months yet, but if we use the opening day payrolls as a stand-in, we get the following (through games of Sept. 26th):

Pittsburgh -- $85,466,500 -- 74 wins -- $1,154,953 per win.
New York Mets -- $305,842,016 -- 87 wins -- $3,515,425 per win.
Chicago White Sox -- $141,755,550 -- 39 wins -- $3,634,758 per win.

You may not like it, but Pittsburgh is being quite efficient in its player spending in terms of the performance attained.
