Could the '86 Mets happen now?

Joe Sports Fan has put together a very cool article seeing if the 1986 Mets team could be put together now with their adjusted salaries.

The '86 team had a payroll of about $12.5 mil.
The team would now cost an estimated $121 mil.

"What does all of that mean? Even with all of the ridiculous contracts being tossed around throughout the league, if you took one of the great teams of the past twenty years and paid them in today�s baseball money, they�d still be a cool $80 million cheaper than the Yankees.

Isn�t baseball great?


...hahahaha. great article. well done. great line at the end there...
