Marlins to open season with record $115 million payroll

The Marlins will open the season Monday with a record $115 million roster.

The figure breaks the old mark of $101.6 million in 2012.

The Marlins finalized their 25-man roster Sunday when they announced the addition of outfielder/first baseman Tyler Moore, who will make $1 million.

Three players will make at least $10 million, with starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen topping the list at $15.5 million. Giancarlo Stanton ($14.5 million) and third baseman Martin Prado ($11.5 million) are also hauling in big bucks.

The team’s 25-man roster for Opening Day will make a total of $100 million.
