After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
| Tax hit | — | — | — |
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, Detroit Tigers.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | 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.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
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.

The Bureau on Jackson Jobe
The scouting press, in their own words
Jackson Jobe on the mound, Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark in the lineup. This is pure joy as a Tigers fan.
I cannot describe how exciting it is that Jackson Jobe is going to be pitching for the Tigers on Saturday
Tigers draft grade for me is a B+. It depends on what you think of Kash Mayfield, but you’re able to run out a rotation with Troy Melton, River Ryan when back from injury, and a returning Jackson Jobe. I really like that trio. Plus Zyhir Hope is a lot of fun, so is Brady Smith.
Umpire favor
-0.6 net runs over 5 graded games — the zone cost the umpire more than it gave, on balance.
