Scout’s note
From Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Moreno is 26 and hitting .311 for Arizona — second in the league — with 16 home runs and 83 RBI. The engine says it is real. His EV95 of 105.805 sits at the 50th-percentile median of our 406 qualified MLB bats, and his results fall within 0.013 of what the physics support: nothing owed, nothing borrowed. He ranks No. 282 of 406 on the breakout composite, well outside the board's top 20 — the catcher is exactly as good as he looks.

Current signals
The read: Moreno is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 105.8 (50th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.013 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 282 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What the sheet prices each season at

|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | 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.
