List of Major League Baseball teams by payroll in 2010

 * – ( View AfD View log )

2010 payrolls by team are not notable enough for a standalone list. I believe that making this page about current payrolls would prove too challenging, with all of the ongoing transactions that occur during a season. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:44, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Team payrolls are being discussed constantly in the context of baseball and the ability to field a competitive roster, and how certain trades are characterised as dumping payroll. As such, a list of of payrolls for teams is notable from a topic standpoint.  I also note that the article is sourced as well. -- Whpq (talk) 17:03, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
