Scout’s note
Petey Halpin is a left-handed-hitting center fielder from San Mateo, CA, a 2020 third-round pick who debuted last September. Eighty-nine games in, he has a .604 OPS and four home runs — a glove-first profile still searching for offense.

What he’s paid

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Cleveland Guardians.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 | 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.

FINAL: Guardians 3, Rays 2 Petey Halpin’s two-run homer — with a 25-foot-high bat flip to boot — put Cleveland ahead in the fifth, and four scoreless innings of Guardians relief capped an excellent Gavin Williams start. Cleveland leads the ALCS, 2-1. Great come-from-behind win.
Tommy Pham and Petey Halpin makes this Guardians-White Sox series feels like October and reminds us why we all love this game sooo much as the unexpected dominates this battle for first place‼️⚾️
