What the sheet prices each season at

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
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.
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
Mark Attanasio is 2 victories from the Brewers’ first pennant since 1982, 6 victories from the Brewers’ first World Series title and perhaps a little more than 2 years from becoming the next Commissioner of Baseball. https://t.co/E4mSDGDvya
A little dive into my story 👇 The hardest part of walking away from baseball was wondering if people would think I failed. I’d dreamed of pitching in the big leagues since I was a little boy. Drafted in the 3rd round at 18. Triple-A at 20. Shoulder surgery a month later.
The Padres are 50-53. They've won 1 of their last 7 series. The have the NL's worst record (20-33) over the last 2 months. I joined @FriarTerritory w/@MartyCaswell and @DSmithShow to discuss it all, and how buying at the deadline makes little sense. https://t.co/kRakz9njEq
Umpire favor
+0.8 net runs over 14 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
