Looking ahead to 2025

In 2023 attendence dropped by over 300,000. Forbes estimated the Sox would lose 50 million dollars in 2023. Sure enough, the payroll dropped by about 50 million. In 2024 it looks as if attendence will again drop by close to 300,000. I haven't seen anything about estimated losses but I imagine it would be in the 40 to 50 million range. All conjecture here, but I think payroll drops to about 90 million. Looking at Baseball Reference and their salary estimates I estimate payroll to be 60 to 65 million before any free agent signings, which leaves 25 to 30 million available for Getz. He has an awful lot of holes to fill.
