Scout’s note

Twenty-three, six-four, 177 pounds — Rodríguez is from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, and still growing into a frame that carries a fourth-round draft card from 2021. Six appearances, 21 strikeouts in 26.2 innings, a 5.40 ERA since his late-April debut. The Index holds no grade, same as every arm: the stuff model isn't outcome-validated. The ERA-FIP gap did clear the bar for a hand-filed regression call. The page is here because he's here.

Current signals

The read: Rodríguez is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. (Calls are another matter: the ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from it.) The page is here because the player matters; the board grade waits for the science.

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

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.
