The only teams currently in playoff position that aren't among baseball's eight biggest spenders are the Cardinals and Rockies, who rank 13th and 18th in player payroll, respectively. The Braves, who with a $99 million payroll rank 10th, still have an outside chance to overtake the Rockies, particularly with four more games remaining against the Nationals disgrace. If the Braves do make it, it will only turn this season even further into, "The Year of the Big Spender." Although the Twins, who rank a lowly 24th in spending at $68 million, still have some hope to overtake the Tigers and make it a slightly less lopsided payroll scoreboard.
