Tango/ESPN - Best one-year free agent team 100 million$ can buy
My article:
Nearly $2.7 billion was spent on player salaries last season. That is an average of almost $90 million per team. This excludes minor league salaries, signing bonuses for draft picks and all other player development costs.
But what if a team decided to scrap its entire player development system, put an extra $10 million into player salaries, and tried to build a roster for under $100 million, using only players who’d sign one-year deals? What kind of team could you put together?
