Payroll Near Three Million For 1936 Major League Baseball
New York February 10 Major league baseball payrolls are projected near three million dollars for 1936 marking a rebound from the prior downturn. The 16 clubs are estimated to spend about 1.575 million in the American League and 1.35 million in the National League. The Boston Red Sox lead with over 300 thousand dollars in payroll, while the Yankees approach 250 thousand and Joe McCarthy earns 35 thousand. Detroit and Chicago are around 260 thousand, with other clubs like the Giants and Cardinals also noted for higher salaries. Several teams trim costs, notably the Athletics, while holdouts grow to about 25 players. Players such as Dizzy Dean and Hank Greenberg are highlighted among those unsettled.
