Scout’s note
Drew Anderson is a 32-year-old right-hander from Reno, a 21st-round pick in 2012 now in the Detroit system. His last 14 days at the MLB level show 8 strikeouts in 2 games, which is the one thing his line says: he is getting swings and misses in short bursts.

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

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $7.0M | $10.0M |
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.
