Four of the six top NL teams are on this list of big spenders. The Nats are last in MLB with $1.4 million. Dusty will have plenty of time to tend to his winery in 2018.
Mets money was all on Cespedes. The Dodgers is Hill, Turner and Jansen, right? Not really add ons. Giants was almost all on Melancon, while the Cards put $113MM into Fowler and Brett Cecil. Other than Melancon, I'm not sure those really improve the teams. I'm not saying the Nats should get a pass for not adding more bullpen pieces, but had they spent about $15MM to add Feliz and Holland, I would have said they had improved their team more through signing than these other teams.
