Its because you had a world series 2 years ago, not shocking.

It's more proof we've been a cheap team that wins and then spends nothing more

That is amazing that the New York Yankees have spent more in salary in 5 years than the Chicago White Sox in 88.

 

Baseball needs a salary cap badly.

Not to nitpick, because I agree that there probably does need to be a hard cap (never happen, but it should), but that Chicago White Sox stat and all of the other teams with the asterisk are from '77 on up, so it's on 28 years...not 88.

 

Still, it's alarming.

Good point. I was wondering how the White Sox salary could be so low.
