February 9Feb 9 What an interesting trade. Milwaukee selling high on Durbin and buying low on Harrison. Boston, who has been a very good drafting team, getting the Comp B pick. Intriguing.
February 9Feb 9 Pirates signed Ozuna. Their offseason looks like a White Sox “going for it” offseason lol
February 9Feb 9 Kyle Harrison going to be a stud with the Brewers. Harrison moving twice in a short window. Still love his ceiling and think he'll figure it out.

February 10Feb 10 Author A Santander signing would have cost the White Sox Jaden Fauske's draft slot.

February 10Feb 10 Tigers' payroll now pushing $230 million, although $11/$13 million to Verlander deferred. Meanwhile, the entire AL Central minus Detroit is standing still or going backwards. Might end up with 3 or even 4 teams under $100 million in the next couple of years, depending on the ramifications of the lookout resolution. Simultaneously, KC ownership appears more concerned with making empty relocation threats in their new stadium standoff.

February 11Feb 11 And that was before Verlander's $13 million...making it $236 million. "Tigers are now outspending the other four AL Central teams by an average of $97 million in 2026 payroll. And no one else in the division is within $68 million." https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/detroit-tigers/news/tigers-al-central-version-dodgers-100-million-payroll/88cd484e37add19f7412a28a&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiu0LeRytCSAxX3npUCHWxwDbcQFnoECAcQAg&usg=AOvVaw3jLWSMwaw5ABnewXxsmX8h That's the highest in the AL Central, and 11th overall. The next closest team from the AL Central isn't all that close. Down at 18th overall, the Kansas City Royals come in at $180,075,858 (other sites have them at $145-150, another $168 projected). The Royals are very far off from the Tigers' mark, with a $42 million difference (and as much as $91 million). While not the massive gap that Gleeman mentioned, Spotrac.com still has the two far apart. But, after the Royals, the next closest team is the Minnesota Twins at $110,787,380. Yikes.
