CBT
Braves $273.6 Blue Jays $248.6 Rangers $248 Cubs $235.8
Payroll
Braves $231 Blue Jays $226 Rangers $225 Cubs $225
So the range on FG is smaller in terms of payroll, but once again the other 3 clubs are all well into the 1st tier of the CBT threshold whereas the Cubs are below the threshold.
They are all currently outlaying a lot more money with the tax. Particularly the Braves paying a significant amount more than the Cubs.
The Cubs shouldn’t brag about being 9th in spending and below the tax.
