The Toronto Blue Jays have a total MLB payroll of $255,380,936 for the 2025 season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' players come from a diverse background of both the United States and other countries, with a notable representation from Latin America and Asia, in addition to American players.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the highest payroll in MLB at this point in the 2025 season. The Dodgers' payroll is $350,300,236, with right-hander Tyler Glasnow having the highest salary this year at $32,500,000.
