NEW YORK — A full postseason share for the World Series champion Texas Rangers totaled $506,263, just down from the record set when the Houston Astros won in 2022, but the total pool increased to the most in Major League Baseball history.
The pool of $107.8 million topped last year’s $107.5 million in the first season of expanded playoffs but the share was down from Houston’s $516,347.
Texas split $38.8 million into 64 full shares, 12.56 partial shares and $48,000 in cash awards, the commissioner’s office said Tuesday. The Astros last year divided their pool into 59 full shares, 14.14 partial shares and $940,000 in cash awards.
A full share for NL champion Arizona came to $313,634, up from $296,255 for Philadelphia last year. The Diamondbacks divided $25.9 million into 71 full shares and 11.49 partial shares.
Full shares for other playoff teams this year were:
– $173,187 for Houston
– $171,184 for Philadelphia
– $43,942 for Baltimore
– $43,801 for Atlanta
– $42,859 for Minnesota
– $36,929 for the Los Angeles Dodgers
– $10,154 for Miami
– $9,592 for Toronto
