During the off-season, two MLB
superstars signed massive contracts with the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies
which could change the landscape of the league.
The location of these contracts could also dramatically change the
amount they have to pay in state income tax.
Bryce Harper signed a 13-year $330 million-dollar contract with the
Phillies where the Pennsylvania state income tax is a flat 3.07 percent. Manny Machado signed a 10-year $300
million-dollar contract with the San Diego Padres that will have him paying 13.3%
state income tax on his game salary when playing at home. State income tax rates vary from state to
state. Good news for anyone looking to
join the Miami Marlins is that Florida is one of the handful of states with no
state income tax.
