There is no salary cap in MLB. There is however, a luxury tax system which makes it more expensive for a team to carry a high payroll. How it works is that there is a threshold ($189M in 2015); if a team's payroll is above that limit, a tax of 17.5% of the amount they're over by is paid to the league as a fine.
MLB Team Payrolls. Major League Baseball is not a league of equals when it comes to player salaries or payroll. Some teams choose to spend a lot on player salaries. For example, the New York Yankees' 2012 payroll was the highest in MLB at $197,962,289.verage MLB salaries remained fairly stagnant until the 1970s, when free agency allowed players to sell their services to the highest bidder after a certain number of years in the big leagues. Consider that in 1964, the average salary for a major league baseball player was just under $15,000 a year.
