Dodgers vs. Rays payroll breakdown
It's easy to frame the 2020 World Series as the "haves" against the "have nots." The luxurious Dodgers against the small-market Rays, who struggle to fill their stands even in non-pandemic seasons. An LA ownership group that includes the likes of Magic Johnson against a Rays team paying its current best player less than $200,000 for the entire season.
Sometimes narratives don't add up perfectly, but this one does if you look at each team's payroll. In the pandemic-shortened season, the Dodgers were due to pay their roster $107.9 million, the second-most in baseball behind the Yankees. The Rays paid out $28.3 million, the third-lowest number in baseball, ahead of just the Pirates and Orioles.
