It's not all that long until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, and the vast majority of free agents remain unsigned. To put some numbers to the heretofore glacial pace of the 2017-18 offseason, let's take a look at how much each team has spent on major-league free agents so far. To come up with this figure, we'll add up the total values of guaranteed contracts handed out to free agents since the end of the 2017 season. As such, we're not including the potential values of any minor-league contracts in our calculations.
Also, these figures of course don't include the sometimes significant salary obligations that teams have assumed via trade (e.g., the Yankees with Giancarlo Stanton and Giants with Evan Longoria).
