    Salary Notes:  Major League salary data has been publicly available since 1985. Though TBC has salary data for most major leaguers since the data became public, mid-season callups and late signees might not appear. In these cases, the league minimum has been assigned. Minor league salaries are not available as they are not public.

    Centiles divide all players into 100 groups and in this situation, a centile of 1 indicates a player is in the highest-paid group, contrary to centile reporting conventions. Players who are in the bottom 20% will automatically earn a centile value of 80 since most likely, all of these players earn the minimum.

    The ranking column includes only the top 100 players for each season.
