The Los Angeles Dodgers shattered a league record by spending more than half a billion dollars in 2025, according to a report Thursday from The Associated Press.

The World Series champions' total of nearly $515 million eclipsed the previous Major League Baseball high of $430.4 million by the New York Mets in 2024.

The total includes a payroll of $345.3 million and a record luxury tax bill of $169.4 million.

The Dodgers' payroll was seven times higher than that of the Miami Marlins, the league's lowest-spending team at $68.7 million. Los Angeles spent more than the bottom six teams combined.

The Mets ranked second in total spending in 2025 at $433.7 million, including a payroll of $342.1 million.

The Dodgers finished 93-69 in the regular season and defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games for their second straight World Series championship. The Mets finished 83-79 and missed the playoffs.

The New York Yankees had the third-highest payroll last season at $301.5 million, followed by the Philadelphia Phillies ($291.1 million), Blue Jays ($253.1 million) and Houston Astros ($236.4 million).
