Garrett Whitlock

Scout’s note

Whitlock came out of Snellville, Georgia, in the 18th round and reached Boston by 2021; his last 14 days in the majors are three games and one strikeout, which is all the recent line will tell you.

Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 6.000 reads free_agency. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.

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

A second set of books

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of October 12, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

Extension

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.
