The highest-paid MLB general manager is Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees, at about $5 million per year.

Quick Scoop

  • Brian Cashman has been the Yankees’ GM since 1998.
  • Multiple recent sources still place him at the top of MLB GM pay.
  • Some newer articles focus on managers rather than general managers, so that’s a different job title entirely.

Note

If you meant manager instead of general manager , the highest-paid MLB manager is Dave Roberts of the Dodgers at $8.1 million annually.
