Deflation.

Well Sheets is in a rare situation and normally would be on a team. His salary not existing accounts for about 1/4 of that.

While overall payroll is down, the average player salary is up 2.7 percent to $3.24 million. That's because there are fewer players in the major leagues getting checks right now.

 

Just 69 players started the season on disabled lists, down from 106 last year. With fewer injured players, teams have called up fewer low-paid minor leaguers to replace them.
