Kershaw to earn more in 2017 than Padres' active Opening Day roster

Entering the fourth season of the monstrous seven-year, $215-million contract he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014, Clayton Kershaw will earn a $33-million salary in 2017, the highest annual rate in all of baseball.

Kershaw's salary is so high, in fact, that the Dodgers starter will earn more than every active player on the San Diego Padres' Opening Day roster combined, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune's Jeff Sanders.

Here's how the Padres' payroll breaks down as they get set to square off with Kershaw and L.A. in Monday's season opener:

The Padres are still spending more on four players who don't play for them - a total of $33.45 million for Hector Olivera, Melvin Upton Jr., Alexei Ramirez, and James Shields - than the ones on their roster Monday. Yikes.
