In the AL East, the Yankees (third), Blue Jays (fifth), Red Sox (12th), and Orioles (15th) are all in the top half of total cash payroll, while the Rays are near the bottom (28th). The Yankees and Marlins split Giancarlo Stanton's contract (Yankees pay $22 million). Boston Red SoxRed Sox ownership has a habit of trading homegrown players like Mookie Betts and Rafael Devers instead of paying them, so Alex Bregman sits atop the Red Sox ledger. Anthony Santander missed most of the year, which is a bad start to a five-year, $92 million contract that he signed last offseason. Shane Bieber is a good gamble at $13 million if he chooses to exercise his player option.
