NEW YORK (AP) -- Baseball's average salary rose 4.4 percent to $4.38 million on opening day, according to a study of contract terms by The Associated Press, and the Los Angeles Dodgers topped spending for the third straight season.

Among the major North American leagues, the NBA has the highest average salary at $6 million this season, according to its players' union, a figure boosted by the league's maximum roster of 13 active players per team.
