Which MLB team has been the best money can buy over the last 30 years? Here's a look at the squads that offered the biggest bang for their buck across all World Series winners since 1992.

The Miami Marlins are among the worst-run franchises in baseball. But the top two “Best Teams Money Can Buy” since 1992 have worn Marlins uniforms.

The 2003 and 1997 Florida Marlins delivered the most bang for their buck among World Series champions during the past 30 years, according to a Bookies.com study of baseball payrolls adjusted for inflation from 1992-2021 and total team victories (including the postseason).

In terms of Cost Per Win (CPW) adjusted for inflation, the 2003 Marlins were the best bargain in baseball. Florida finished 91-71 in the regular season and won 12 games in the postseason, including four over the Chicago Cubs in a memorable NLCS.

The adjusted CPW for each of their 103 wins from that year is $751,389.13, or $480,882.35 in 2003 dollars. The highest-paid player on that team was catcher Ivan Rodriguez, who earned $10,000,000 in 2003, or what would equal $15,625,217.39 today.

Bombers Deliver On Both Ends

The highest adjusted CPW of all teams that have won the World Series since 1992 belongs to the 2009 New York Yankees.

Those Bombers won 119 games including the postseason in claiming their only World Series title of the 21st Century. They have a 2022-adjusted CPW of $2,368,112.65, which was $1,767,098.14 in 2009 dollars. The 2009 Yankees also have the highest inflation-adjusted payroll at $269,964,844 in today's dollars.

That 2009 Yankees roster included Alex Rodriguez. His 2009 salary of $33 million would equal $44,223,756.28 today.

The 2003 Marlins beat the Yankees in the World Series. The Yankees payroll that season was $152,749,814, or more than triple the Marlins total roster cost of $49,050,000.

The 2018 Boston Red Sox have the highest overall payroll of any team on this list in today's dollars. The Red Sox spent $235,649,368 in 2018, but it was well worth it. Boston won a franchise-record 108 games in the regular season before beating the Yankees and Astros in the AL playoffs. The Red Sox ousted the Dodgers in five games to win the World Series. Their 2018 payroll equates to $269,805,843 in 2022 dollars.
