As more and more details from the collective bargaining agreement leaks out, a prominent number for the Dodgers in 2017 is $235 million.

We went over the basic points of the competitive balance tax last night, but now the Associated Press has more details:

Tax rates increase from 17.5 percent to 20 percent for first offenders, remain at 30 percent for second offenders and rise from 40 percent to 50 percent for third offenders. There is a new surtax of 12 percent for teams $20 million to $40 million above the threshold, 42.
