2013 MLB Payrolls [View all]
As it does every year, the Associated Press has compiled the salaries of every player on every 25-man active roster. Since this information isn't public, it requires a little estimation, but these figures are the absolute best you're going to get. Figures are adjusted payroll, which takes into account cash received in trades, prorated signing bonuses, and other tweaks.
As has happened in years' past, Alex Rodriguez will be paid more ($29 million) than one entire team. This year it's the Astros.
Next season the Dodgers are expected to surpass the Yankees.
