Reds get Zack Wheeler (8-3, 2.27 era) tomorrow. He is making $42 million per year and is the highest paid player on a team with a payroll of $279M this year. Mind boggling. I didn't realize mlb teams so blatantly disregarded the supposed deterrents - luxury tax? I guess nobody cares, and it seems they are useless. From baseball-reference:

Ah - the Mets payroll is well over $300M. And I thought the Cubs were near the top. Nowhere close.

I like Burns and it's obviously way too early to make any final statements, but the guy went 4th in that draft, Nick Kurtz on the A's, has 13 homers in his first 50 games and looks like he is going hit 30+ a year for a long time. He would look very good hitting 4th behind Elly
