In case you’re new to the Payroll Pages, let’s go over what you will discover on them.
Participant Information

Contract particulars (years, contract whole, and choice/decide out particulars, if relevant).
Common annual worth (AAV) of every contract. Some offers have a decrease AAV due to deferrals; if relevant, that will likely be famous within the Contract column.
Yearly wage breakdown via 2031, with relevant choices/decide outs highlighted per the legend on the high of the web page.
Gamers are separated into three sections:
Gamers with assured contracts.
Gamers eligible for arbitration (with contract estimates courtesy Matt Swartz and MLBTradeRumors).
Notable gamers not but eligible for arbitration.
All gamers with assured contracts, in addition to these eligible for arbitration, are included. However as you’ll discover, the “Notable Gamers Not But Eligible for Arbitration” part isn’t all-encompassing.
Usually, we embrace all of the gamers who we consider are within the majors for good, or who’ve no less than made sturdy sufficient contributions to clear the bar of being thought-about notable. I additionally like to incorporate high prospects as quickly as they arrive up, simply so as to add further context to the workforce’s payroll state of affairs going ahead. The names listed are checked and up to date no less than month-to-month.
Different Funds
Cash owed to or acquired from different groups.
Cash owed to gamers now not with the workforce (included after midseason trades).
Some groups will even have an Different Funds (Luxurious Tax) desk, which lists changes that solely apply to the posh tax payroll whole. For instance, if a participant opts out, it might change the typical annual worth of his contract relative to what it was on the time of signing. That might result in his former workforce being credited or debited, thereby reducing or elevating their luxurious tax payroll quantity.
Staff Totals
Totals for every year that embrace no less than one assured contract.
Estimated “actual cash” payroll.
Estimated luxurious tax payroll, which incorporates participant advantages and fee into the pre-arbitration bonus pool.
The Luxurious Tax Clarification and Different Payroll Notes part comprises a bunch of helpful particulars, however you probably have any questions or suppose we’re lacking any notable pre-arbitration gamers, be happy to depart a remark!
