2014 MLB Opening Day Payrolls
From the A.P., based on publicly and privately reported salaries, prorated bonuses, and deferred money. Cash transactions and buyouts are reflected in the team payroll figures, so they will differ from the sum of players' salaries listed at bottom. These numbers are not exact, because precise contracts are closely guarded secrets. But this is as good as we're going to get.
