    2015 Payrolls and Salaries

    http://deadspin.com/2015-payrolls-an...eam-1695040045

    You'll find the full numbers below, but they're up across the board. The Dodgers' opening-day payroll projects to be nearly $273 million, up a whopping $37.5 million from last year. Bringing up the rear are the Marlins, whose projected $68.5 million payroll is $24 million higher than 2014's cheapest team (the Astros).

          Our salary by player on that list doesn't come remotely close to footing to what they say our overall payroll is. They're subtracting cash received from trades, which isn't really accurate without saying that that's going on.

            That was my thought but they do say so.
            (A note on the AP's numbers: they are not exact, because contract details are closely guarded. But they are based publicly and privately reported salaries, prorated bonuses, and deferred money. Cash transactions and buyouts are reflected in the team payroll figures, so they will differ from the sum of given roster's player salaries. The figures will also change by year's end because of bonuses, trades, and call-ups.)
            It really is something that should be stated on the table though.

              So in reality it's about $80 million being paid out, just slightly below $63 million coming directly from Loria.

                And the latter is all that really matters.

                  I mean, the standings don't work by wins per dollar, so really none of it matters.
