Arizona Diamondbacks 2017 Opening Day Payroll: $93.2 million
Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty ImagesThe Associated Press has collated payroll figures for all 30 major-league teams, and has come up with Opening Day total. Over at Forbes, Maury Brown has done a good job of collating the numbers and comparing them with the same figures for 2016, to get an idea of who has changed. A few general points to note, from the two articles, before we get into any team-specific analysis:
The AP's figures include salaries and prorated shares of signing bonuses and other guaranteed income for players on active rosters and disabled lists... For some players (Zack Greinke), parts of deferred money are discounted to reflect current values.
