Record Payroll in Philly
By: mbohn
H/T to MLBTradeRumors.com for pointing us towards a Todd Zolecki article on MLB.com about the Phillies massive payroll ($132.5Mil) for the 2009 season. Interesting tid bit about the payroll is in the players they are paying that are no longer on the roster (Thome for $3Mil, and Adam Eaton for $8.5Mil).MLBTradeRumors wonders if this high payroll will effect the Phils’ ability to add anyone midseason. I for one do not think it will come into play at all.
