Based on final calculations made by Major League Baseball, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were knocked out in the divisional playoffs this year, reportedly finished the 2014 season with a record payroll of over $257 million. The Dodgers owe $26.6 million in luxury tax.

The Yankees, the previous biggest spenders, cut almost $10 million off their payroll, but they still owe $18 million in luxury tax.
