Scout’s note
Jacob Webb is a 33-year-old right-handed reliever from Riverside, California, an 18th-round pick in 2014. He has 317 strikeouts in 315 career games, and in the majors over the last 14 days he has appeared once and struck out one — the man does exactly what his career line says, no more and no less.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $1.5M | $2.5M |
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.
