Paying anyone 30 million a year is, on it's own, absurd. Paying an arm that much...yuck. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/stor ... 15-million |

Dodgers must be rolling in dough. They are starting to make the Yankees look like the Astros. |

Praying this takes them out of the Tanaka sweepstakes. |

Dodgers get $340 mil per season just from their new local TV deal--that's before ticket sales, merch, concessions... Not sure how the $340 mil a season average is distributed over the life of the deal. Big Chicagoan wrote: Dodgers must be rolling in dough. They are starting to make the Yankees look like the Astros.

Dodgers are now Yankees NL with their willingness to spend enormous amount of cash and seemingly every available free agent. My guess would be that the Japanese free agent will be signing with the Dodgers as well. |

Good chart at this link listing every MLB team's annual TV revenue: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dodgers- ... l-tv-deal/ |

Cubs are throwing this shitfit over $50MM a year? I mean, it could certainly be higher, and it will, but people make it sound like the Cubs make nothing from WGN. What was even more shocking was that the White Sox make $45.5 with lower ratings. |

The Cubs' $50m doesn't look out of whack against the Yankees' $90m...how in the world do the Dodgers get $340m per year? |

MLB needs a salary cap and a salary floor. Sports salaries in general are crazy, but this is completely out of whack. Its absurd. |

Took me a long time to come around on this, but I agree. Guggenheim has almost singlehandedly taken us into English/Spanish soccer territory, where all this money is being spent and no one knows how or why. The union would never accept it, though, nor would the elite, nor would the Marlins. But things have to start making some sense again. |

Fuck salary caps. Just wait til the Dodgers give Trout $40 million a year when he hits free agency. |

I always keep an eye on Capgeek in my NHL fandom, so while I've gotten a good handle on the scale of NHL salaries, everything else sounds insane by comparison. I'll hear someone say something like "11 million is about what you have to pay for Kyle Lohse" and my eyes pop out of my head like a cartoon. |

I read somewhere that MLB pays the lowest percentage of revenues to it's players of all the major sports. Then that's truly insane. I'm pretty certain their CBA doesn't set a percentage of total revenue for the players like the other three leagues do. NHL is at 50% down from 57%, I think the NBA floats somewhere between 48% and 52% because nothing involving NBA accounting can ever be simple, and the NFL is 48%. |

I believe that's correct. That's why there needs to be a salary floor. Too many teams are pocketing tons of cash while hiding behind small market/rebuilding excuses. |

Quote: Players received 63 percent of revenues in 2003, a high in recent history according to the Sports Business Journal (and players received 60 percent of revenue in 1994). But players’ percentage share has decreased by 20 percent in a decade. Players’ share of revenues dipped below 50 percent in 2010, and according to Tribune-Review calculations, it reached 42 percent in 2013.
