I'm pretty sure the Yankees payroll is less now than it was a week ago. I don't know how much Boone makes, and how much money they sent to the teams they traded with, but you take away Mondesi and Ventura's salary, it's got to be less than what it was.
However, the Red Sox payroll is closer to Tigers, Marlins, Padres, Pirates, and Reds than it is to the Yankees. So it's a bit foolish to compare the two. The Yankees payroll is something like $80 million more than anyone else's
