The possibility exists that the New York Yankees will be added to that list after the current campaign. For the 2019 MLB season, they have invested almost $295 million in the club, although the outcomes hardly reflect it.

We are now extremely familiar with professional sports clubs that have spent heavily, only to discover there is much more to winning a game.
Manchester United in football would illustrate that well in the past ten years. Despite spending a ton of money on new players, they have yet to see the results you might anticipate when considering titles won.

Given that the New York Mets have the highest payroll in the league yet only have a 13 percent chance of making the playoffs, they are undoubtedly not the only MBL team that has overspent, only to find that results have yet to follow.
The San Diego Padres, who have made significant free agency and trade investments, have also struggled to a 44-48 start.
According to Fangraphs, after reaching a high of 87% in April, their postseason odds have now dropped to around 50%.
That percentage was 75% as recently as the Fourth of July. The fans’ expectations of making the postseason have been dashed by a 4-6 run and two straight defeats.
Also, given their current record, the Yankees might be headed for their worst season. If they do, they won’t have finished last in the standings at this point in the season since 1990.
