When does Major League Baseball release the actual luxury tax payrolls?
According to the Basic Agreement, MLB is obligated to provide the team-by-team payrolls to the Players’ Association at three points during the year. Estimates are to be provided 14 days after Opening Day and 14 days after the All-Star game. The final payrolls are presented on or before December 21st. To whatever extent these estimated and/or actual payroll figures are made public, I will attempt to reconcile them with the data collected on this site.
