September 27, 200818 yr Well, the season is not over yet, but I was bored and decided to take a look at how much money each team spent for a single win. All you have to do is divide payroll by the # of wins and you've got your $/W (Dollars per win) statistic. The Marlins were the most efficient team in baseball, spending a little over 263,000 dollars for each win. The Yankees were the least efficient, spending 2,403,237 per win.
