Dodgers Spring Training Star’s Salary Revealed
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Santiago Espinal will make $2.5 million in MLB after LA selected his contract in spring training, per Fabian Ardaya.
The figure is relatively small for the Dodgers, who will have the highest payroll in MLB in 2026. If he can continue to produce at the level he has in spring, the Dodgers will happily take the minor financial hit.
The Dodgers signed Espinal to a minor league deal at the beginning of spring training, and he has had a much larger impact than anticipated for LA. Espinal has been fantastic at the plate in the Cactus League not being known for his bat, hitting two home runs and driving in 13 runs with a .389/.432/.639 slash line.
