The biggest hit was in 2013, when the team lost $125,000. The City of Auburn, which owns the team, no longer has the money to support the franchise, so in order to keep baseball in Auburn, the team must become self-sufficient.

Manfred Jr. Commissioner of Baseball Major League Baseball 245 Park A venue, 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 Dear Commissioner Manfred: We write to express our opposition to Major League Baseball's recent proposal to eliminate the Major League affiliations of dozens of Minor League Baseball clubs, including the Lowell Spinners club, the Class A Short Season New York-Penn League affiliate ofthe Boston Red Sox. This scheme would cause significant economic damage to the City of Lowell, eliminate an important piece of the community's cultural footprint, and disappoint baseball fans of all ages­ all while doing long-term damage to the game's ability to keep and grow its fan base. For over 20 years, the Lowell Spinners have brought fun and entertainment to baseball fans across the City of Lowell, the Merrimack Valley region, and the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The team's important affiliation with the Red Sox, and its proximity to Boston and New Hampshire, have allowed Red Sox fans from all over the region to enjoy a Spinners game and see players that will move on to play for the Red Sox and other Major League Baseball teams. The Lowell Spinners provide an affordable family outing and have remained a strong partner for the entire community. The team's name pays homage to the City's history as the home of the American Industrial Revolution, and the mascot, the Canaligator, references Lowell's six miles of canals. 1 In addition to the local cultural importance of the Lowell Spinners, the club has maintained a vital economic partnership with the City.

After posting a 79-83 record with the majors’ highest payroll, the Baltimore Orioles were hit with a $3,138,621 luxury tax bill for the 1998 season. Other taxpayers included the Red Sox ($2,184,734), Yankees ($684,390), Braves ($495,625) and Dodgers ($49,593). The tax threshold, originally expected to reach $55 million in 1998, actually leaped to $70,501,185, including $5,576,415 per team in benefits. This figure represents the midpoint between the fifth- and sixth-highest payrolls. The luxury tax rate falls from 35% to 34% in 1999, then disappears entirely in 2000. Owners go 9-2 in arbitration. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera of the Yankees were the only players to win their arbitration hearings, although 51 of the 62 cases settled before a ruling.
