The Dodgers are likely to rank No. 1 in payroll again this year. According to the annual salary website 'Cot's Baseball Contracts', the Dodgers' expected payroll this year is $360 million. Although the New York Mets hired Juan Soto on a 15-year, $765 million and an annual average of $51 million, the overall payroll is expected to be only $278.9 million.
The Dodgers, which have topped the list of spectators for 12 consecutive years, are the richest club in the Major League. In particular, he enjoyed the effect of Shohei Ohtani last season. According to Forbes, advertising sales of 12 Japanese companies reached about $70 million last year. It's all thanks to Ohtani.
Of course, Ohtani is the top paid player in the Dodgers. He signed a 10-year, $700 million FA contract and received an annual salary of $70 million (AAV). However, Ohtani decided to receive $680 million, or 97 percent of the total amount, over 10 years after the end of the contract period, and the AAV calculated as a present value is $46.1 million. Still, it's No. 1.
In terms of current price, Blake Snell, who signed a five-year, $182 million contract in the FA market, is the second-largest annual salary in the Dodgers after Ohtani. He will receive $66 million of the total deferred payment over a period of 12 years from 2035. As a result, the AAV present price is $31.73 million.
Mookie Betts is third with $30.41 million, followed by Tyler Glasnow ($27.31 million) and Yamamoto Yoshinobu ($27.1 million). Then, where will Kim Hye-sung's current salary based on the Dodgers uniform be located in the team.

When considering only the main players, Kim Hye-sung is the lowest.
Catcher Will Smith is $12.24 million, first baseman Freeman is $27 million, third baseman Max Muncy is $12 million, shortstop Betts is $30.41 million, left fielder Michael Confoto is $17 million, center fielder Tommy Edman is $13.27 million, right fielder Teoscar Hernandez is $1.36 million, and designated hitter Ohtani is $46.1 million.
Chris Taylor, who will compete with Kim Hye-sung as the main second baseman, will receive $15 million in AAV, and Miguel Rojas, another utility infielder, will receive $5 million, which is close to Kim Hye-sung.
Kim Hye-sung is in a position to leave the KBO League and challenge the Major League anew. It is unreasonable to compare the ransom with Ohtani, Betts and Taylor. Ohtani's AAV is 11 times that of Kim Hye-sung. Depending on the performance over the next three or five years, the future ransom will vary widely.
When Kim Hye-sung asked in an interview leaving the country on the 14th (Korea time) what she needs to compete for survival, she said, `Shouldn't I just be good at baseball. I have no choice but to do better than now and just do better. I have to do better than I did last year and help the team. I want to make use of my strengths. The first year is a place to challenge. I need to show my charms by showing all the strengths that I can show" he said.
