Dodgers Set Record with $234 Million Payroll: The Los Angeles Dodgers opened their season Sunday night with a payroll of $234 million, a new record for Major League Baseball. The New York Yankees are second at $199 million, ending a 15-year streak of being the league's highest paid team. The cheapest team for the second year in a row are the Houston Astros, who have a $45 million payroll.
Will the Dodgers be any good?
