Let me begin by shouting out two invaluable tools for keeping up with MLB payroll details: Roster Resource and Cot’s Baseball Contracts. Wherever you have fishstripes.com bookmarked (you do have fishstripes.com bookmarked...right?!), add those sites to that same folder.
Invaluable as they may be, they’re also imperfect. I think Miami Marlins fans deserve a payroll breakdown that is specifically tailored for their team.
I’ll be taking you through a loose projection of what the Marlins will pay their major league players in 2023. Last season, according to the Associated Press, that final sum was $83,642,932.
