NEW YORK (AP) — A study of big league contracts by The Associated Press shows the Los Angeles Dodgers set a record with an opening-day payroll of $234 million Sunday.

The New York Yankees were a distant second at $199 million, ending their streak of six straight openers above the $200 million mark. The Yankees had topped the opening-day salary list for 15 straight years and had set the previous mark of $230 million last season.

The Dodgers spent more than five times the total of the Houston Astros, who at $45 million were last for the second straight year but vastly above their $27 million outlay on opening day last season. Miami, at $47 million, repeated in 29th place.
