Major League Baseball distributed nearly $128.2 million in postseason bonuses, with the World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers dividing their pot into 82 full shares worth nearly $485,000 each.
The MLB offices announced the bonuses on Thursday. The amount paid out was about $1 million less than the record amount distributed in 2024.
The Dodgers also handed out 12.5 partial shares and $340,000 in cash awards for the 2025 World Series win.
The American League champion Toronto Blue Jays divided their $30.8 million in earnings into 70 full shares of just over $354,000, along with 15.44 partial shares.
The Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners, who lost to the Dodgers and Blue Jays in their respective League Championship Series, each received about $15.4 million to divide.
The total amount of the full shares depends on the number of shares a team votes to had out.
