Only 1 team with a payroll lower than 18th in the league has won a World Series in the last 35 years and Only 2 teams with a payroll lower than 16th in the league have won a World Series in the last 35 years
Additionally, since 1992 (the year when the salary gap between the top and bottom teams first exceeded $40 million and when the top spending team first spent 5 times more on payroll than the lowest spending team), a team in the top 10 in payroll has won the World Series 67% of the time while a team in the bottom 10 of payroll has won the World Series only once or 3% of the time
MLB is broken. The perverse economic system the game has and continues to operate under is destroying the game and competitive balance. Unless you can buy a World Series, your team has virtually no chance of winning one. Attendance continues to decline because the fans see this travesty and have been increasingly turned off. Unless changes with a salary cap, salary floor and more fulsome and meaningful revenue sharing are put in place, the sport will eventually implode as generations of fans are being lost. Will anyone wake up? I doubt it
