CFOD teams do not base their salary caps on real life MLB salaries. But what if they did? Below is a comparison of opening day rosters for CFOD teams with their real-life MLB salaries. Also for comparison are the actual 2017 team salaries for MLB teams. The Zeros beat out the Piazza's (who shed $83 million in MLB salaries between '16 and '17) to be the team with the highest MLB payroll. Lakeview is paying 12 people at least $10 million dollars. Thanks to an uptick in spending by the real life LA Dodgers it is a real team who has the highest total MLB salaries. The Angry Candy own this year's lowest team MLB salary at a mere $74 million, with Hunter Pence's $18.7 million salary taking up 25% of the team total. Despite their thriftiness, the Angry Candy would have only been the 4th cheapest team behind the Padres, Rays and Brewers.
