What They're Getting Paid...

Here's a look at what a few star CPBL players will make domestically in 2008 - the numbers are monthly figures. Keep in mind that the CPBL season typically runs from March through October annually.

1)Chin-Feng Chen (La New Bears) - 830,000 NT/month ~ $25,600/mo
(CFC's annual salary is roughly around $300,000 a year)*Edited

2)Wei-Lun Pan (President Lions) - 460,000 NT/month ~ $14,200/mo

3)Kuo-Ching Kao (President Lions) - 350,000 NT/month ~ $10,800/mo

4)Cheng-Min Peng (Brother Elephants) - 320,000 NT/month ~ $9,900/mo

According to this poster on the Baseball Fever message board, the avg. monthly salary (in 2007) in the CPBL is ~ $3,400/month. International players make more, averaging $5K to $12K a month. *Edited


Here's a few updates on the 2008 salaries for NPB players:
1)Wei-Chu Lin of the Hanshin Tigers received a significant raise for 2008 - he'll make ~$414,000 this year as compared to ~$163,000 last year.

2)Chung-Shou Yang (Fighters) also received a raise for 2008 - he'll receive ~ $115,000 this year (he made $90,500 in 2007).

3)Wei-Yin Chen (Dragons) will receive ~$55,100 in 2008.

4)Chien-Ming Chiang's (Giants) 2008 salary will remain the same as last year ~$77,000.


For comparative purposes, you can refer back at an earlier post that addresses what some of the overseas players were making in 2007.
