At What Price Victory, MLB?

What does it cost a Major League team in dollars and cents to send one of its hitters on the roster to simply stride to the plate, no matter what the outcome may be? What are Major League teams paying its hitters to complete the singular most important objective in baseball — score runs? Obviously, not all players get paid the same to make a plate appearance, or score a run. However, if I were Gunnar Henderson, I’d question the fairness of being expected to score five fewer runs than Juan Soto this season, while being paid 60 times less per run. This podcast also begins the discussion of leveling the playing field by compensating players by present performance, rather than how they performed in the past, or how they are expected to perform in the future.
