Detroit Tigers. Total team (24 player) playoff roster 18+ million. You read that right!

There are apparently 64 players in MLB making more per season than the Tigers entire roster.

[Conqueror]

Wow!

I remember when ARod's salary was far more than the combined salary of the Astros.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

How much are they paying for those not on the roster? Javy Baez for example...

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Not a huge deal, given the fact that they were tied for the 12th best record in MLB.

[Madison]

I think the point is that 64 single players, Avg 2 per team, exceed their entire roster, relative to their success.

I would say pretty rare. Everyone loves the bad news bears type story.

I love this type of stuff!! If they win the World Series... perhaps they will make Moneyball... Too.
