2008 - Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Salaries. According to the USA Today the Pirates opening day roster is on the books for $ 48,689,783. Which puts them 15th in the NL and last in their division. Outside of the Matt Morris fiasco, thank you Littlefield, relatively speaking the Pirates pay out average to below league average for their players.

Bullpen

Outside of the paycheck Matt Morris steals the Pirates get a fairly good return on investment. I don't believe Snell's figure to be completely accurate, as he did recently get a new deal.
