Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 6.057 reads free_agency. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Miami Marlins.
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 |

| Salary | $12.0M |
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.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
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 Pete Fairbanks
The scouting press, in their own words
Pete Fairbanks entered in the 9th, leaves with the trainer. Didn’t look right. Tyler Zuber is coming in. Concerning.
Umpire favor
+0.3 net runs over 25 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
