.....by payroll. I rounded the numbers off and I know there are some flaws in my division names (the Cardinals won it all, the Nats/Expos were not good in the 90s). All numbers are in millions. Do you think this would keep viewers more interested during later parts of the season? Do you think the playoffs would still be competitive? Would it work better if they took one team from each of the below divisions and made balanced divisions that way? Here it goes.

Phillies - 175
Red Sox - 173
Angels - 154
Tigers - 132
The "We keep spending all this money, but still can't win" Division:
Rangers - 121
Marlins - 118
Giants - 118
Cardinals - 110

The "Upper Middle Class" Division:
White Sox - 97
Dodgers - 95
Twins - 94
