Scout’s note

Raisel Iglesias has 24 saves for Atlanta, ninth in baseball, and 918 career strikeouts across 644 appearances — a body of work built over a decade since he left Isla de la Juventud, Cuba. At 36, his 3.02 ERA in 44.2 innings is strong, but the board won't flag him: our stuff model isn't outcome-validated, so no arm gets the call on stuff alone. The ERA-FIP gap did clear our bar, though, and we've filed the regression call by hand. The grade waits; the man doesn't have to.

Current signals

The read: Iglesias is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. (Calls are another matter: the ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from it.) The page is here because the player matters; the board grade waits for the science.

Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 10.154 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, Atlanta Braves.

A second set of books

The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of August 20, 2026. We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

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.
