Overview
- MLB said the 2025 postseason players' pool totaled nearly $128.2 million, slightly below last year's record $129.1 million.
- Los Angeles received a $46.15 million allotment, or about 36% of the pool, and voted 82 full shares, 12.5 partial shares and $340,000 in cash awards.
- The Blue Jays, as American League champions, received $30.76 million with a full share worth $354,118 after issuing 70 full and 15.44 partial shares.
- The bonus pool comes from 60% of gate receipts for the minimum number of games in each series, so stadium capacity and ticket pricing materially affect team shares.
- Eligibility rules grant full shares to players and managers with the team or on the injured list from June 1 or later, and the payouts are especially meaningful for minimum-salary players.
