2017 Baseball Managers Salaries: Highest Paid MLB Coach on Average. MLB doesnât officially disclose managersâ salaries. We gathered information from various online sources to come up with the numbers below. Also, most managers also have a lot of incentives built into their contracts. This means the numbers below may not represent their actual compensation. From what we could find, Joe Maddon, Mike Scioscia and Bruce Bochy are the highest paid managers in Major League Baseball. But, there isnât a lot of data available. So, we donât really know how many of these numbers are correct and how much some of the others are making.
Five of the twenty highest paid players in 2013 were members of the Yankees. Their team payroll for 2013 was $228,835,490, roughly $12 million above the second-largest Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees have drawn criticism for their payroll, with some claiming it undermines the parity of MLB.
