It is going to be a little different than usual, but baseball is back.
The start date for the 2020 MLB season became official earlier this week. On July 24, the season will begin and last 60 games. Player’s salaries will now be prorated, which greatly reduces each team’s payroll for the year.
Earlier this year, we took a look at the Phillies payroll and figured out that their final number would be $202.3 million, $5.7 million under the competitive balance tax.
It is unclear exactly what the luxury tax threshold will be in 2020, but now knowing exactly how many games will be played, we can see how much each Phillie under contract will make this season.
