Mets Most Expensive Team in Major League Baseball
(December 12, 2022) - It's true. The New York Mets have become the most expensive team in Major League Baseball history. That should translate into some pretty short odds to win the 2023 World Series, right?
Well, close.
While Houston remains the team to beat in the eyes of the oddsmakers, the Mets have steadily been inching their way up the World Series odds board this offseason.
Mets owner Steve Cohen offered Carlos Correa, the 28-year-old superstar shortstop, a deal he simply could not refuse: $315 million over 12 years.
They've spent big on the likes of Justin Verlander, Brandon Nimmo, Edwin Diaz and Kodai Senga.
The 2023 Mets payroll [so far] is projected to be $384 million, with more than $110 million in luxury taxes to follow.
The day after the 2022 Series concluded, the Mets had 12-1 odds to win the 2023 championship. The Top 5 on that day were the Dodgers (6-1), Astros (7-1), Braves (8-1), Yankees (10-1) and Blue Jays (10-1).
Heading into Christmas 2022, those payout odds were $700 for every $100 bet. Only the Astros had shorter odds at +625.
