World Series prediction ?

Don Drysdale, "In my day, World Series bonus money meant something. Now it just screws up their taxes."

How outrageous are the Dodgers players salaries?
World Series = Pay Cut
Winner - $385,000 each or $55,000 per game
Loser - $225,000 each or $32,150

Dodgers salary average $62,000 per game
Astros $30,500

You'll see that change considerably as of last night......as a life long Dodger fan going way back to Brooklyn "Congratulations Astros".....you earned it !!!

Not right away you won't.
Only a very few of the Astros team's contracts are up for arbitration/contract negotiation this year.
Designated hitter Carlos Beltran, outfielder Cameron Maybin and relievers Luke Gregerson, Francisco Liriano and Tyler Clippard - are now free agents.

You did notice how many of next years contracts have automatic escalation clauses for each year....as I said, salaries will be going up even without renegotiated contracts and free agency.

Giancarlo Stanton's backloaded contract
He'll be making as much as a pitcher.
