"The most expensive series in MLB history begins Monday night when the New York Mets, carrying a $375 million-plus CBT payroll, visit the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have an MLB-high $413.5 million CBT payroll this season."
"The previous most expensive series in MLB history was last year's meeting between the Dodgers and Mets, which featured a combined payroll of $764 million."
"Ohtani's contract stood as the biggest in professional sports history until the Mets signed Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million deal before the 2025 season."
"Losing Soto is obviously a big blow to them, and hopefully, we can take advantage of that."
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are facing off in the most expensive series in MLB history, with a combined competitive balance tax payroll of over $1.07 billion. The Dodgers lead with a $413.5 million payroll, while the Mets follow with over $375 million. This surpasses last year's record of $764 million. Key players include Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto, with Ohtani's contract being the largest in sports history until Soto's recent signing. Soto's absence due to injury is a significant loss for the Mets.
