Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 5, 2023 12:21 pm

The average Major League salary was up 11.1% to a record $4.9 million to start this season, the largest jump since 2001, according to an Associated Press study.

The increase comes in the first offseason since players and owners agreed to a five-year collective bargaining agreement in March 2022.

This year\'s percentage rise was the largest since a 13.9% jump in 2001.
