The World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers fueled a record playoff prize pool of$ 129.1 million, according to the judge’s business. The tally was 20 % higher than the previous high of$ 107.8 million set last year—it was$ 107.5 million in 2022 when the playoffs expanded to their current format.
The World Series champ Dodgers split$ 46.47 million of the lake. They awarded 79 whole stock, 17.49 fractional shares and cash prizes worth$ 405, 000. A full share was worth$ 477, 441, below the record of$ 516, 347 in 2022 when the Houston Astros had 59 full shares.
A share for the 2024 Yankee was$ 354, 572, based on 71 total stock and 16.38 limited stock.
Based on the Fall Classic method and the huge market teams, the 2024 finals were almost certain to result in a record-breaking payout for players. 60 % of wall documents from the most recent set ( two games in the Wild Card large, three in the Division Series, and four in each of the League Championship Series and World Series ) are refunded.
The World Series winner gets 36 % of the pool, while the runner-up receives 24 %. The four division-losers in the Division Series and the two LCS losers split by 24 %, and the four WC losers by 33 %. Teams can divide up their pool yet they please.
Baseball’s final payouts gambling in behind the NBA on a per-player schedule. NBA playoff team received$ 33.7 million this season, with each Celtics person earning around$ 800, 000 after winning the title. Kansas City Chiefs people made$ 338, 000 for their Super Bowl run. In the NHL, the playoff pool was$ 22 million, and$ 6.5 million, or roughly$ 240, 000 per player, went to the champion Florida Panthers.
Full shares for other 2024 MLB playoff teams were$ 182, 663 ( Cleveland Guardians ),$ 179, 948 ( New York Mets ),$ 55, 729 ( Detroit Tigers ),$ 52, 278 ( Philadelphia Phillies ),$ 49, 583 ( Kansas City Royals ),$ 45, 985 ( San Diego Padres ),$ 11, 870 ( Baltimore Orioles ),$ 10, 749 ( Houston Astros ),$ 10, 013 ( Milwaukee Brewers ) and$ 9, 548 ( Atlanta Braves ).
The payouts do n’t move the needle much for the sport’s top earners, with the top 15 making roughly$ 650 million combined this year from salaries and endorsements, but it is a boost for the large number of players earning the minimum MLB salary, which was$ 740, 000 in 2024.
