For the second consecutive year, the Los Angeles Dodgers, World Series champions, topped the payment list. Each complete postseason share for the Los Angeles team was worth US$484,747.57, a figure higher than in 2024, when each share was US$477,440.70.

The Dodgers distributed 82 full shares, in addition to 12.5 partial shares and US$340,000 in cash prizes, reflecting a slight reduction in the number of shares issued and an increase in their individual value.

The Toronto Blue Jays, American League champions, distributed a total purse of US$30,764,679.60, with 70 full shares and 15.44 partial shares, valuing each full share at US$354,118.39.

Milwaukee distributed 70 full shares valued at US$168,852.75, while Seattle issued 69 full shares, with an individual value of US$182,376.45.

Distribution by rounds

Before the World Series, the total shares are the same for all teams that reach each postseason round. The final value of each share depends on factors such as the number of full shares voted by each team, the distribution of partial shares, and the cash prizes awarded.
