The New York Mets had a gross income of $444 million for 2024 and spent $400 million on 2025 payroll -- 90 percent, the highest in baseball

The Miami Marlins had a gross income of $317 million for 2024 and spent $86 mollion on 2025 payroll -- 27 percent, the lowest in baseball.

It isn't only that some clubs have more to spend than others, but that some spend the least they can on personnel, or simply underpay them so the owners can make more.
