Yankees hit with $26.9 million tax

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 | MLB | No Comments

The New York Yankees have already had some big news this year with signing CC Sabathia and A.J Burnett and its also rumored they are looking at Manny. Unfortunately being such a big time team that can through around millions is going to cost you, but I don’t think $26 million is a big deal to a team like the Yankees. A team that had a payroll of $222 million last year might want to get into the postseason this year.

The Yankees are not the only team to get hit with the tax, The Detroit Tigers also a team that did not make the playoffs last year got a bill for $1.3 million this year. The Tigers are also had a high payroll at $160.8 million. We have the top 10 teams payroll for 2008 below.

2008 Team Payrolls
No.	Team	Payroll	Average
1.	New York Yankees	$209,081,579	$6,744,567
2.	Detroit Tigers	$138,685,197	$4,622,840
3.	New York Mets	$138,293,378	$4,609,779
