And the team with the top payroll in baseball is... [View all]

The Boston Red Sox at $223 million!

What surprised me most is that the Yankees, with all their stars, actually rank 7th this season, their lowest ranking since 1992.

The Giants, who will shell out $203 million, actually have the second highest payroll, but they won't play like it (sorry, Brother Buzz).

The Cubs are third at $183 million.
