April 1 (Bloomberg) -- New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will make more money this season than the 33-man roster of the Florida Marlins, the Associated Press reported.

Rodriguez, who signed a record $275 million contract extension in December, tops Major League Baseball's salary list at $28 million, exceeding the Marlins' opening-day roster and disabled-list total of $21.8 million, AP said, citing a study of contract terms. Rodriguez has been the highest-paid player for eight straight years.
