Toronto Blue Jays players made more than $354,000 each during the team’s run through the postseason in 2025.

The Athletic had the information on playoff shares and how they work:

All players and managers eligible for the World Series or who went on the injured list on June 1 or later received a full share. Other players who weren’t with the team by that date are subject to a team vote on whether they receive a full or partial share, along with select staff members. Other staffers, such as team media relations directors, grounds crew members, traveling secretaries and others, are not eligible for shares but can receive cash awards. Club executives are not eligible.

The Blue Jays gave out 70 full shares.

Think of playoff shares as overtime. Major League Baseball players are only paid during the regular season. So even if a player has a lucrative contract, they are not paid salary during the playoffs. Playoff shares are a way to compensate them for the extra time at work. The longer a team plays in the playoffs, the bigger the playoff shares are.

It was a magical season for Toronto that saw them win the American League East for the first time since 2015. They earned the No. 1 seed in the American League playoffs and defeated the New York Yankees in four games in the American League Division Series before beating the Seattle Mariners in seven games in the ALCS.

The Blue Jays had a 3-2 series lead in the World Series but ultimately lost 4-3 to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Blue Jays have worked to attack their pitching staff, which was already fairly deep, by signing Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers to multi-year deals. Cease and Ponce figure to serve as starting pitchers while Rogers will be one of the most important members of the bullpen.

The Jays need to address the offense now, which includes figuring out if they actually want Bo Bichette back in free agency. They’ve also been linked to Kyle Tucker and are somewhat involved in the trade market for Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
