Sox, Cubs Big Spenders as League Average Salary Tops $3M
The average salary for an MLB player has now surpassed $3M! As you'd guess, the average is more than a little misleading when you consider that the entire Florida Marlins team doesn't have more than one player making the "league average" and that the league's median salary has remained roughly $1M for 3 consecutive seasons now.
When looking at only the salaries of players presently on the roster, the Sox ($109M) and Cubs ($100M) rate 4th and 8th respectively in the league. The White Sox and Cubs each have 11 players making more than the league average.
