The New York Mets have the highest team payroll heading into the 2025 major league season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have an opening-day payroll of $321.3 million , second to the Mets ' $323.1 million .

The Dodgers ’ secret is the deferred payments that dramatically lower the present-day value of the contracts, leading to Shohei Ohtani ’s 10-year , $700 million contact.

Juan Soto , who signed a record $765 million contract with no deferrals, is baseball's highest-paid player.
