Scout’s note
Out of Lima, Peru, drafted in the third round in 2016, Luzardo is 28 and has fanned 194 in 156 innings for Philadelphia — fourth in the league — with a 3.23 ERA and a 4.6 WAR. The Index carries him ungraded: the stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no arm receives a board flag from it. The ERA-FIP gap did clear the bar for a hand-filed regression call. The page is here because the player matters — the science decides the rest.

Current signals
The read: Luzardo 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.
What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $11.00M
- Tax hit
- $11.00M
- Service time
- 5 yr 165 d
- Guaranteed
- $135M
The deal 5 years $135M (2027–2031) — $27.0M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 1 y/$11 (26) 5 y/$135 (27-31)+32 opt · agent Roc Nation · 2 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M |
| Tax hit | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Philadelphia Phillies.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Arb 4 | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M | $27.0M | $32.5M |
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.
