caulfield12 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/detroit-tigers/payroll/ $156 million Detroit Tigers $136.6 million Kansas City Royals ($149 million for 2017) $116 million Chicago White Sox $86 million Minnesota Twins ($23 million to Mauer) $69 million Cleveland Indians (actually closer to $90 million counting Swisher and Bourn) Seems these numbers are still about $3 million too low for each team... http://www.blessyouboys.com/2015/1/21/7824...ax-in-2015-2016 Player benefits also have to be included in the calculations for tax purposes. According to Maury Brown at Forbes.com, each club’s share of benefits was $11,656,837 per club for the 2014 season. If you’re still keeping score, that pushes the Tigers’ payroll up over $189.1 million, which would trigger a luxury tax at the rate of 17.5 percent on every additional dollar spent on player salaries. But wait, there’s more. Edited January 16, 2016 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
