Scout’s note
Serven is 31, from Palm Desert, California, a fifth-round pick in 2016 who has caught 130 big-league games. The engine's read on him comes from Triple-A: 105.02 EV95 across 157 balls in play, 52nd percentile of the 504 Triple-A bats we track, sitting right on the 104.9 median. No luck gap prints — that number is measured off major-league results, and the engine has nothing here to call fair or mispriced.

Current signals
The read: Serven is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 105.0 (52nd percentile of the 504 qualified Triple-A bats we track; median 104.9). The engine prints no luck gap for him: that number is measured off major-league results and he has none this season, so there is nothing here to call fair or mispriced.

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

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
