|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Arb 1 | 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 scouting press, in their own words
Sometimes these things sneak through, but noticing today the Pirates signed Jean Cabrera a few weeks ago. Cabrera was added to the Phillies roster after 2024 but never was called up. Typically at this time of year these deals a 2-year deals https://t.co/v68zWY0wG0
Umpire favor
-0.1 net runs over 3 graded games — an even shake from the zone this season.
