The largest one-year payroll slashing in Major League Baseball history might not belong to the then-Florida Marlins, whose offseason fire sale six years ago landed Carlos Delgado and Paul Lo Duca with the New York Mets and gutted the team's payroll from $60 million to $15 million.




Deep Budget Cuts


The Mets could be looking at the record for trimming the most payroll from one season to the next.



TeamYear 1Yr. 2Decline
Mets '11-'12 $142.8 $90.7 $52.1 (proj.)
Rangers '03-'04 $103.5 $55.1 $48.4
Marlins '05-'06 $60.4 $15.0 $45.4
Royals '10-'11 $71.4 $36.1 $35.3
A's '07-'08 $79.4 $48.0 $31.4
Rays '10-'11 $71.9 $41.1 $30.8



The distinction, it turns out, soon may belong to the 2012 Mets.

Remember when Mike Wilpon, who's extremely close with the Wilpon family, claimed Madoff saying the Wilpons were blameless was PROOF that the Wilpons were squeaky clean?
