MLB Payroll 2000 – 2021

Can you buy a World Series?  Check out the MLB Payroll dating back to 1984 to find out.

A team with a top-5 payroll won the World Series from 1992 until the Arizona Diamondbacks won it all in 2001.

Since 1990 the Florida Marlins are the only team to win the World Series and not have a payroll ranked 16 or better.  The Marlins were ranked 25th in the league in 2003.
