MLB’s Post-Christmas Spend Check Shows Wide Gap At The Top

"Christmastime seems like the perfect point… to assess spending," Jeff Passan wrote, noting more money should flow after Dec. 25 with several nine-figure free agents still unsigned. His outlay list tops Toronto at $277M, ahead of Baltimore ($206.9M) and Philadelphia ($174.5M). The Mets sit at $78.7M total so far, with $113M from free agency but -$34.3M in net trade adds.
