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.)
