Drew Cavanaugh

Scout’s note

Drew Cavanaugh, a lefty-hitting catcher from Troy, Michigan, reached the big leagues in late June as a 17th-round pick. He has no home runs in 32 MLB games, and his .525 OPS over the last 14 days tells you the bat is still catching up to the level.

Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.

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