Scout’s note
Marco Raya's stuff grade of 0.80 puts him in the 98th percentile of the 827 AAA arms we track — the median is 0.04, and Raya is nearly off the chart. A 2020 fourth-round pick from Laredo, he reached the Twins this June and has thrown six MLB innings with four strikeouts and a 3.00 ERA. Stuff is not command, and this is a watchlist read, not a call. But the arm is real, and 170 pounds on a six-foot-one frame says the velocity is earned, not inherited.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |

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.
