Each row is one player’s 2021 allocation with the club. Adjusted is the player’s prorated payroll allocation, and the Adjusted figures sum to the club’s published $152,753,755 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 (5 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.
