A Thought Experiment, Part de Two

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2019, Right Earth New York Yankees!

(A quick caveat: all salary figures are from baseball reference or spotrac.  A lot of our subs and relievers are paid by piecework, so these figures may be $5 million or even $10 million more than what the real figure would be.  On the other hand, I haven't counted in previous obligations, such as the $4 million we owe A-Rod this year, according to one source.)

So here we are:

Pitchers

Max Scherzer:           $37,405,652
Chris Sale:                $15,000,000
Justin Verlander:      $28,000,000
Gerrit Cole:               $13,500,000
Masahiro Tanaka:     $22,000,000

Tommy Kahnle:         $   1,387,000
Dellin Betances:        $   7,125,000
Adam Ottavino:         $   9,000,000

Greg Bird:                 $ 1,200,000
Gleyber Torres:         $     605,200
D.J. LeMahieu:         $12,000,000
Didi Gregorius:         $11,750,000
Miguel Andujar:        $     617,600
Thairo Estrada:         $     555,000
Gio Urshela:              $     555,000
Tyler Wade:               $     572,000

Outfielders

Zowee, that's a lot of kale, right?

Here's how it breaks down, for those without an abacus:

Catching: $    3,032,700

Infield:     $   28,428,000

Outfield:   $  48,533,314

Total:       $241,944,941
