The Los Angeles Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, face a luxury tax bill of $103 million, one of three teams exceeding $50 million. The New York Mets and New York Yankees also have hefty bills, reflecting their postseason success.

In total, MLB teams owe a record $311.3 million in luxury taxes, surpassing last year's $209.8 million. This tax system aims to curb excessive spending and includes penalties for teams that repeatedly exceed the threshold.
