USA Today is correct.

ManRam’s 2004 base salary was 20.5M, and he hit several performance escalators ($75k for All Star selection; $0.1M for Silver Slugger; $0.15M for WS MVP; $0.1M for 3rd place in MVP voting) that pushed him up to #1 overall.

McPaper: 1

“The 2009 Yankees had another first-time-in-a-long-time milestone as well. According to Andrew Baggarly*, the last time the World Series champions also had the highest paid player in the game was the ‘86 Mets.”

Baggarly is wrong. The 2004 Red Sox had the highest paid player in Manny Ramirez.

At least according to USA Today’s statistics.
