This week, the MLB released information on their postseason bonus shares, with the Dodgers receiving just under $3 million overall. The Astros set a record for share value, as World Series champions, and received over $30 million.
L.A.’s bonus pool was split more than any other team at 82 people. The Rays issued 79 playoff shares, with no other team having more than 72.
Overall, playoff bonus pools were higher than ever this year, which can be credited to the additional round of playoffs added in from this year’s new collective bargaining agreement. The total amount was over $107 million, up from about $90 million last year.
