The Mets and Yankees both threw around some serious money this winter in the free-agent market. Between each squad’s attempts to retool for another World Series run in 2023, they combined to spend north of $1 billion.

Unsurprisingly, each New York squad finds itself within the top 10 most valuable MLB franchises. The Yankees remain at the top with a comfortable lead. Meanwhile, Steve Cohen’s Mets held onto their sixth overall ranking.
