I tried to determine how much cash has been spent in the last 5 years by each team. Just to get a feel for the landscape of spending by league and overall.
What is the total amount of cash spent by the 123 teams - $78.6 billion dollars
How much has each team spent in cash over the course of the last 5 season?
Los Angeles Dodgers - $1.268B
Boston teams
Red Sox - $1.215 billion - (Overall rank #2 - Lg rank #2)
Patriots - $863 million - (Overall rank #31 - Lg rank #21)
Celtics - $569 million - (Overall rank #65 - Lg rank #10)
Bruins - $363 million - (Overall rank #95 - Lg rank #3)
The fact that the Patriots rank 21st in the NFL and 31st overall in the 4 major sports is mind-blowing
