About this 2019 San Diego Padres ledger

Each row is one player’s 2019 allocation with the club. Adjusted is the player’s prorated payroll allocation, and the Adjusted figures sum to the club’s published $103,699,790 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 (7 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 San Diego Padres pay in 2019?

72 players appear on the 2019 ledger; 65 of them carry money that counts toward the $103,699,790 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 San Diego Padres year-by-year history links every season from 1985 to the present, and each season has a ledger like this one.
