In terms of history, this constitutes the second-highest payroll that the organization has put forward. 2011's roster saw the team slide in at just over $113 million, and 2012's team would now be the third-highest in team history at just over $100 million. Salary figures for pre-arbitration players, such as Brian Dozier or Kyle Gibson or Josmil Pinto, is based off of an incremental raise from what the player received in 2014.
