The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Will the Yankees actually go below $210 million?
There’s certainly been talk of the team at least considering going below the luxury tax for next season, but with so much of the offseason to go, it’s impossible to say that they’re absolutely committed to staying below it. Payroll numbers are tricky to read right now, as different sources are either listing variables like arbitration, or appear to have a big gap of cash missing, but the general consensus is that the Yankees are close to the cap as is.
