The Dodgers were penalized at a higher rate because it was their second consecutive season exceeding the CBT threshold and they exceeded the highest tier – the so-called “Cohen Tax.”
“Obviously we’ve been at extremely high levels the last two years and we’ll see when we get to Opening Day where we’re at,” Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said early in the offseason when asked about the team’s payroll considerations this winter.
