Christmastime seems like the perfect point in the offseason to assess spending. Considering there are still a half-dozen potential nine-figure players in free agency, there should be more spent after Dec. 25 than before (a little over $1.5 billion). Here are three lists that cover every team: total outlay (free agent spending plus/minus guaranteed money picked up via trades), free agent spending and trade spending. I used @Matt_Swa’s arbitration model to project the salaries for arbitration-eligible players who were dealt. TOTAL OUTLAY Toronto: $277M Baltimore: $206.9M Philadelphia: $174.5M Atlanta: $108.3M Seattle: $99.8M San Diego: $92.2M New York Mets: $78.7M Los Angeles Dodgers: $74.5M Detroit: $59M Boston: $56.4M Chicago White Sox: $55.6M Arizona: $50.3M Pittsburgh: $46.3M Texas: $44.9M Chicago Cubs: $38.6M New York Yankees: $29M San Francisco: $25.4M Cincinnati: $24.5M Milwaukee: $22.9M Miami: $15M Kansas City: $13.2M A’s: $13M Cleveland: $11.9M Tampa Bay: $9.4M Minnesota: $7M Washington: $5.5M Colorado: $1.1M Houston: -$1.7M Los Angeles Angels: -$5.7M St. Louis: -$43M FREE AGENCY Toronto: $277M Baltimore: $185.1M Philadelphia: $182M New York Mets: $113M Atlanta: $104M Seattle: $99.8M San Diego: $92.2M Los Angeles Dodgers: $74.5M Detroit: $59M Chicago White Sox: $57.1M Arizona: $50.3M Chicago Cubs: $47.6M Pittsburgh: $36.8M New York Yankees: $29M San Francisco: $25.4M Cincinnati: $24.5M Milwaukee: $23.3M Tampa Bay: $22.5M Texas: $20.6M Miami: $15M St. Louis: $12.5M Cleveland: $11.9M Los Angeles Angels: $8M Minnesota: $7M Washington: $5.5M Kansas City: $5.3M A’s: $3M Houston: $2.6M Boston: $0 Colorado: $0 TRADES Boston: +$56.4M Baltimore: +$25.8M Texas: +$24.3M A’s: +$10M Pittsburgh: +$9.5M Kansas City: +$7.9M Atlanta: +$4.3M Colorado: +$1.1M Milwaukee: -$400K Chicago White Sox: -$1.5M Houston: -$4.3M Philadelphia: -$7.5M Chicago Cubs: -$9M Los Angeles Angels: -$13.7M Tampa Bay: -$13.1M Mets: -$34.3M St. Louis: -$55.5M
