The Cleveland Indians spent approximately $61.7MM, eighth lowest in MLB.
Discussions about revenue sharing, salary caps, etc. go nowhere in my mind. Too many lower-salaried teams in MLB consistently make it to the playoffs (as evidenced by this year and almost every year since Wild Card came into play). Additionally, no one has made a compelling argument to me that revenue sharing works in other leagues -- one only needs to look at the Patriots in the NFL to have a solid, coherent argument against the purported "success" of such revenue sharing and salary caps.
