How much does an MLB player get paid for playing in the post season?

Question

Is it up to each team or is there a standard amount that each player recieves for playing in playoff & World Series games?

Answer 1

There is a pool of money, derived from gate revenues from the first three games of each Division Series and the first four games of the two LCS and the World Series (removing incentive for the players to "deliberately" extend a series to extra games). Each team votes at the end of August how to divvy up its share of the pool. Lemme see if I can dig up the percentages.

Ah. This is from the 2002 CBA, and I don't think it was changed in the 2006 agreement:

A. One Players’ pool shall be created from the World Series, the two League Championship Series and the four Division Series. Contributions shall be made into the pool as follows:

(1) 60% of the total gate receipts from the first 4 World Series games;

(2) 60% of the total gate receipts from the first 4 games of each League Championship Series; and

(3) 60% of the total gate receipts from the first 3 games (4 if the Division Series is expanded to the best of 7 games) of each Division Series.

B. Distribution of Pool
The Players’ pool shall be distributed to the Players, by Club, as follows:
World Series Winner . . . 36%
World Series Loser. . . 24%
League Championship Series Losers (2). . . 24%
Division Series Losers (4). . . 12%
Non-Wild Card Second Place Teams (4). . . 4%

Distribution of the Players’ pool shall be made to the Players within 30 days after the completion of the World Series, unless for good cause the Parties agree to extend the period.

C. Division of Players’ Pool
The division of the Players’ pool shall be made by a vote of the Players, in a meeting chaired by the Player Representative, at which attendance shall be limited to Players, except that the field manager, prior to being excused from such meeting, shall be given first the opportunity to express his views as to the division of the pool. At the invitation of the Player Representative, the field manager may be present during the remainder of the meeting, or any part thereof. The vote of the Players shall not be subject to alteration, except as may be required to conform to the Major League Rules. Non-uniformed personnel of a Club shall not be eligible to receive a percentage share of the Players’ pool, but shall be eligible to receive cash awards of defined dollar value, provided that no cash award may exceed the value of a full share.

There's a part (D) that spells out minimum dollar values, but that part probably did get tweaked in 2006, and this is already pretty dry stuff so I'll spare the readers.

In 2006, one share of the champion Cardinals' part of the pool was worth $362,173.07. Click this link to see all the 2006 payouts: http://mlb.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/mlb/y2006/m11/d16/c1741742.jsp

Answer 2

confident, they gets a commission greater for those playoff video games. whilst it is composed of the international sequence, anybody gets "shares", alongside with the non-gamers. final I heard, and "share" grew to become into approximately $2 hundred,000. everybody who has helped the gang "get there" gets a share, or portion of a share. The announcers on one interest reported that even the concession stand human beings, etc., acquire a element. The "share" time era could carry actual for playoffs besides, i do no longer understand for confident.
