Scout’s note
Anthony Volpe is 25, a shortstop from New York and a first-round pick in 2019 who's played 528 career games with 53 home runs and 77 steals — but 518 strikeouts tell you the swing-and-miss has been the tax on everything else.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, New York Yankees.

A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The scouting press, in their own words
Worth noting: Anthony Volpe got his first start at third base today in Triple A. He had been bouncing between second base and shortstop since getting optioned. https://t.co/q0xTz2m2Tf
Anthony Volpe is officially toast.
Interesting to note as Lombard replaces Anthony Volpe at shortstop, Volpe was considered a better prospect when he arrived in the big leagues. Lombard is more athletic, has better tools, should be better in the long run. https://t.co/3km6EDXalw https://t.co/GoYRF0a32n
Umpire favor
+0.8 net runs over 21 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
