Dodgers Spend $600M On Free Agents. Owe $120M In Taxes

The Dodgers are already well into the fourth and final tier of luxury penalization. Any dollars allocated to Yates will come with a 110% tax, as was the case with Scott. RosterResource already projects the team's luxury tax ledger to sit at a staggering $371MM; the addition of Yates could push their CBT number close to $400MM. The Dodgers were already set to owe around $108MM in overage taxes before the signing of Yates; presuming he gets an eight-figure salary, they'll very likely owe more than $120MM in taxes alone.

And on the other end of the spectrum my Seattle Mariners spending exactly zero dollars on free agency talent. Must be nice having an ownership that cares about winning.
