Nearly $30 million in revenue for Blue Jays members
The series paid off. 70 members of the organization will receive several hundred thousand dollars each – and we're not just talking about players.
The Blue Jays received 24% of the $128.2m players' pool for post-season revenues (the Dodgers received 36%).
They gave out 70 full shares, each worth $354,118 (the Dodgers handed out 82 full shares at $484,747).
The players pool total just shy of last year's record $129m.
