In 2006, the Florida Marlins have the lowest payroll in MLB, with a total team salary of 14.3 million.

In the same season, the Yankees have five players with salaries higher than the entire salary of the Marlins....and 11 players making 7 figures...

1. Alex Rodriguez 25,680,727
2. Derek Jeter 20,600,000
3. Jason Giambi 20,428,571
4. Mike Mussina 19,000,000
5. Randy Johnson 15,661,427
6. Bobby Abreu 13,600,000
7. Johnny Damon 13,000,000
8. Hideki Matsui 13,000,000
9. Jorge Posada 12,000,000
10. Gary Sheffield 10,756,171
11. Mariano Rivera 10,500,000

The second lowest team payroll belongs to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, with a payroll of 35.4 million. So the Marlins are the only team with a total payroll less than A-Rod and other Yankee players.

And what's disgusting about all this - the Marlins are going to finish with about 77-78 victories. And Joe Girardi will reportedly be fired at the end of the season. For a team that's only been in the league for 14 seasons, they have quite a history. They've only made the playoffs twice, but won the world series both times.
