The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the season with an all-time high $310.6 million payroll and are on track to pay a record tax of nearly $47 million 💸💸
Los Angeles paid tax each season from 2013-17 and its total bill through last year reached $182 million since the luxury tax began in 2003. That’s second only to the Yankees’ $348 million bill.
Until now, the previous high for a luxury tax payroll was the Dodgers’ $297.9 million in 2015, which resulted in a record tax of just under $43.6 million.Four teams had luxury tax payrolls under $100 million: Oakland , Pittsburgh , Baltimore and Cleveland . The union calculated the 2021 average at $3,679,335, down 5.2% from what 2020 would have been at full salaries had the season not been shortened by the coronavirus pandemic.
The union usually issues its salary report in December but the 2021 edition was delayed while staff was engaged in collective bargaining.
