There's an MLB record $311.305 million in luxury tax penalties this year, more than $100 million more than a year ago, by nine teams that eclipsed the luxury tax. Dodgers: $103.016M Mets: $97.116M Yankees: $62.512M Phillies: $14.351M Atlanta: $14.026M Rangers:$10.807M Astros: $6.483M Giants: $2.421M Cubs: $570,309 The Rangers, Giants and Cubs were the only teams who didn't make the playoffs.
The Houston Astros have traded their best player, Kyle Tucker, and are letting go of Alex Bregman, who has the most WAR for them since his first full season in 2017. In the meantime, they will pay first basemen Christian Walker and José Abreu a combined $39.5 million in 2025. The consequences of an unwillingness to go beyond six years on a contract reveal themselves in moments like this. Bregman and Tucker were drafted and developed by the Astros machine, which will struggle to retain its best talent as long as it places arbitrary restrictions on itself. This is an uncapped sport. The best players get more than six years in free agency. The Astros remain formidable. A team with Walker, Yordan Álvarez, José Altuve, Yainer Díaz, Jeremy Peña, Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown, Josh Hader and more. They will be a contender and have the talent to win a World Series. But they are an objectively lesser team than last year, and that's no small thing in a close AL West.
