| Salary | 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.
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 Kyle Stowers
The scouting press, in their own words
A long, drawn out, playoff intensity type loss for the Marlins. Conine & Stowers homered but not enough. Cubs had 13 hits and outlasted them 6-5. Series finale tomorrow. 71-72.
Kyle Stowers 19th HR of the season. Back to a 1 run game. 6-5 Cubs.
Umpire favor
+2.8 net runs over 45 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
