NEW YORK – Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced the official distribution of postseason bonuses corresponding to the 2025 season.

Each complete postseason action by the Los Angeles team was worth US$484,747.57, surpassing the US$477,440.70 of 2024. The Dodgers distributed 82 full shares, in addition to 12.5 partial shares and US$340,000 in cash prizes.
