Article: Money Matters

[twinsnorth49]

I would love it of my company spent 50-52% of revenue on payroll....although I wouldn't have my job for very long under those circumstances.

 

Oh, so now you're saying they're spending too much and really going out of their way for payroll? Everyone should be thrilled with what they spend and feel lucky we have such generous owners?

 

So what teams beside the Marlins for the obvious choice keep their payroll under 50% of revenue?

 

The 50% of revenue would be perfectly acceptable if the paid for their own stadium and didn't force taxpayers to help the pocket so much money every season. I just can't wait for the day when the Pohlads are no longer involved with the Twins.

 

Tampa Bay, Oakland, most teams other than a handful peg payroll somewhere around 50%. Wish the Pohlads away if you like, I think you'll be disappointed if you expect more from somebody else.
