The free agent market moved very slowly this offseason and Major League salaries increased just one percent from 2017.

That doesn't even amount to a cost of living bump in what turned out to be a depressed market.

The average salary for a Major League player is $4.52 million, up from $4.47 million last year.

A record 130 players will earn $10 million or more, compared to 124 such players a year ago.
