Major League Baseball announced postseason shares for 2025, which fell short of the record set in the 2024 season.
Total postseason shares this year were worth just shy of 128.2 million ($128,186,164.98), below the record $129.1 million last season, but still higher than the 2023 total of $107.8 million.
The players’ share of pool money is formed from all four rounds of the postseason. They get 60% of gate receipts from the first two games of each Wild Card Series, first three games of every Division Series and first four games of each League Championship Series and the World Series.
The 2025 MLB postseason pool was divided among the 12 playoff teams: the World Series winner (36%), World Series runner-up (24%), the two LCS runners-up (12% each), four Division Series runners-up (3.25% each) and the four runners-up in the Wild Card Series (0.75% each).
A full Dodgers postseason share was worth $484,747.57, an increase from the $477,440.70 amount last season. However, that amount is still lower than what a full Texas Rangers postseason share was worth ($506,263) after they won the 2023 World Series.
The lower value is due to the Dodgers distributing more shares than the Rangers did, giving away 82 full shares and 12.5 partial shares, plus $340,000 in cash awards from their 2025 pool.
In total, the Dodgers’ pool was worth $46,147,019.39.
The Toronto Blue Jays, who lost to the Dodgers in the World Series, received a pool of $30,764,679.60 and distributed 70 shares. A full share for the Blue Jays was worth $354,118.39.
Players from each team vote on how many full or partial shares to award to other club personnel.
All players and managers eligible for the World Series who were with the team or on an injured list from June 1 or later in the season receive a full share. Those who were not with the team on or after June 1 are eligible to get a full share or percentage share as voted on by that team’s players, along with two athletic trainers and one strength and conditioning coach.
Spring training coaches, traveling secretaries, clubhouse personnel, media relations staff personnel, scouts and grounds crew are eligible to receive cash awards from the postseason pool but not shares.
Executives, including directors/presidents of baseball operations, general managers, assistant GMs, team physicians and resident security agents are not eligible to receive shares or cash awards.
