Six major league organizations will pay a luxury tax for exceeding the $189MM
salary level, as the Associated Press reports (via Sportsnet.ca). With a new c
ollective bargaining agreement set to go into effect, we’ve never seen more t
eams subject to the tax.
It’s no surprise which organizations lead the way yet again, but they’ll be
joined by a few more others than usual. Here’s the full list:
Dodgers, $31.8MM tax bill
Yankees, $27.4MM
Red Sox, $4.5MM
Tigers, $4MM
Giants, $3.4MM
Cubs, $2.96MM
That’s four years in a row for Los Angeles and a remarkable fourteen straight
for the Bronx Bombers, the AP notes. Also of note, this is the first time the
Cubs have ever exceeded the luxury tax ceiling.
While the line will move up to $195MM next year, under the new CBA, the penalt
ies will begin to rise — especially for consecutive offenders. Dipping back u
nder the limbo stick may prove tough for the Dodgers, whose future obligations
draw down more the following year. But the Yankees could well finally be set
to re-set their luxury tax status this time next year.
