What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 |
|---|---|
| Salary | Arb 4 |
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.

The Bureau on Josh Rojas
The scouting press, in their own words
In fact, Salas (birthday 6/1/06) becomes the youngest regular in Triple-A. Eduardo Rojas (2/14/07) was called up to Triple-A OKC as a fill-in earlier this month and was returned to the Dodgers' ACL affiliate. Konnor Griffin (4/24/06) was next-closest in age to Salas.
Umpire favor
+0.3 net runs over 10 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
