Estimated tax payrolls (millions):

Mets $370.5
Yankees $ 286.0
Blue Jays $ 247.3
Phillies $ 246.3
Dodgers $ 238.7
Braves $ 232.6
Angels $ 217.1
Cubs $ 215.1
Padres $ 214.2
Giants $ 211.4

The CBT is 233.0.  Look for LA to make some moves to get below that figure.  They want to avoid the repeater penalty in order to position themselves for the Ohtani race.

Dodgers have already begun that process.

They got rid of Trea Turner ($27 mms.), Justin Turner ($10.85 mms.), Cody Bellinger ($12 mms.), Craig Kimbrel ($10 mms.), Tyler Anderson ($13 mms.), Andrew Heaney ($12 mms.), Joey Gallo ($11 mms.), Tommy Kahnle ($5.75 mms.).

They've made a dent...
