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 Bureau on Daulton Varsho
The scouting press, in their own words
Bateman is having his best offensive year yet in Triple-A but has managed only 3 HR in 82 games with low EVs to match. A plus-plus runner, he could play CF in the bigs today, and Toronto could see how that looks if/when Varsho is moved. Bateman is R5 eligible this offseason.
Umpire favor
+0.1 net runs over 58 graded games — an even shake from the zone this season.
