[QUOTE="bobbob, post: 1423123, member: 531828"] Googling "Cubs luxury tax" will pop up several articles. Basically, a lot of people think the Cubs stayed under and the Dodgers/Yankees dipped back under this year to minimize the penalty for going over next year. Only the Red Sox and Nats were on track to hit the luxury tax this year. I don't think Boston cares and the Nationals would probably go over again to retain Harper. So there are still probably at least 5 big spending teams eyeing Harper/Machado. The threshold also takes a big jump this year. Usually it just goes up 2 or 3 million, but it bumps up 9 million this year. [/QUOTE]
