2013 Payrolls And Salaries For Every MLB Team

It's that time of the year. Time to unveil MLB's opening day payrolls, and laugh at the teams spending like drunkards (Yankees, $229 million) and the ones fielding quadruple-A rosters (Astros, $24 million). Let's dive in. As it does every year, the Associated Press has compiled the salaries of every player on every 25-man active roster. Since this information isn't public, it requires a little estimation, but these figures are the absolute best you're going to get. Click on the cities in the map above for each roster's individual player salaries.

Just Two Minutes Of The Cardinals Completely Fucking Up

The St. Louis Cardinals are submitting quite the wet fart of a season. They finished the first half at 43-45 and are currently sitting in fourth in the NL Central with a 47-51 record. This team is a bunch of bums. When manager Mike Matheny discusses losses, he has a tendency to credit failure to a bunch of little mistakes.

God, it’s like an intramural softball team working out the kinks in the first inning, but for an entire season. My favorite part was when the Cardinals player goofed. …

The latest comes from Stephen A. Smith who said today that Kawhi Leonard said, "Someone tell LeBron to stop being scared to guard me." A source told @stephenasmith that Kawhi said "someone tell LeBron stop being scared to guard me!" pic.twitter.com/Aa1EELqZ8W— First Take (@FirstTake) January 8, 2020This is the first (alleged) recorded instance of Kawhi talking trash. Or just talking in general, really. Why would…

But the 25-year-old forward apparently annoyed teammates with the way he played. Rookie RJ Barrett was especially frustrated by the veteran's playing style. The New York Post's Marc Berman revealed that a number of players think Randle dribbles too much and doesn't get teammates involved. Despite putting up solid numbers this season, Barrett and others were not happy:”Nevertheless, some Knicks, including rookie RJ Barrett, were frustrated by Randle’s penchant for not distributing the ball quickly enough and overdribbling, according to two sources familiar with the situation.”While he didn't get his teammates involved enough, Randle averaged…
