Poor, but not cheap

You're seeing today why many people (including our Joe McDonald and Steve Krasner) picked the Seattle Mariners as the first team to be eliminated from the American League playoff chase this year.

But this is no low-budget team. According to the Associated Press, the Mariners' payroll is $106.5 million this year, the 7th-highest among the 30 big league teams. They trail only the big-market Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, White Sox, Angels and Dodgers.
