WAB = wins above what payroll predicted; TAB = roster WAR above what payroll predicted (the resource-controlled GM-skill signals). Surplus = WAR × season market $/WAR − salary (fWAR; 1985–2026). "pace" = provisional 162-game estimate for the in-progress season. Decision-maker = President of Baseball Ops if the team has one, otherwise GM. Ranked by WAB; click any column header to re-sort.
