REPEAT: BMO Issues Moneyball All-Star Break Report

- BMO Private Bank Report examines relationship between payroll and performance in Major League Baseball - Toronto Blue Jays' $117.5 million payroll not meeting win expectations - Chicago teams: White Sox, Cubs both struggling

(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- (Marketwired) -- 07/16/13 -- BMO Financial Group's Harris Private Bank today released its annual financial analysis of Major League Baseball's winners and losers at the unofficial half-way mark of the 2013 season.

"Major League Baseball is the closest thing to a free market in sports," said Jack Ablin, Chief Investment Officer, BMO Private Bank. "Large market teams have financial resources to attract and cultivate the best talent and build the best rosters. While the wealthiest teams in the American League generally have the best winning percentages, the National League is pretty much up for grabs so far this year."

With baseball's annual all-star game taking place in New York tonight, Mr. Ablin's Moneyball All-Star Break report examines whether money can buy a winning team. Here are his top and bottom performers of the 2013 season so far, based on payroll and performance:

The Bottom:

The Toronto Blue Jays are in the middle of the pack - at least for payroll, but are underperforming at the plate.
