About this 2020 Los Angeles Angels ledger

Each row is one player’s 2020 allocation with the club. Adjusted is the player’s prorated payroll allocation, and the Adjusted figures sum to the club’s published $67,040,893 total, which includes active-roster salary plus injured-list, retained, dead and buried minor-league money. Salary is the full payroll salary published for the season, so the two can differ when money is deferred, prorated or carried by another club. Non-buried minor-league allocations (3 players on this ledger) are real money the club paid but are excluded from that total, so their Adjusted figure reads $0. Amounts are nominal US dollars as recorded; full source credits and access dates live on the sources page.

Questions

How many players did the Los Angeles Angels pay in 2020?

50 players appear on the 2020 ledger; 47 of them carry money that counts toward the $67,040,893 club total, the rest are non-buried minor-league allocations.

Why do modern-era payrolls read higher than a simple roster sum?

From 2017 on the total is everything the club paid that season: active roster, injured list, released players still owed money, retained salary from trades, and buried minor-league allocations. That matches the totals clubs and reporters quote.

Can I compare this season with others?

Yes. The Los Angeles Angels year-by-year history links every season from 1985 to the present, and each season has a ledger like this one.
