What the sheet prices each season at

| Salary | 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.
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 Ryan Weathers
The scouting press, in their own words
The Yankees are in survival mode with journeymen like Topa/Fulmer until (they hope) they can get Fried and Schmidt back; maybe Gil/Weathers too. This was the danger of not adding arms at the deadline when they had asked a heavy workload of a bunch of their pitchers. https://t.co/CJghOZvrcn
The Yankees placed Ryan Weathers on the injured list with a left forearm flexor strain.
ICYMI https://t.co/HpsTi0vzJz… By not acquiring pitching at the deadline, the Yankees have been playing a dangerous game against attrition and injury — and then Ryan Weathers walked off the mound with forearm pain.
Umpire favor
+3.9 net runs over 23 graded games — the zone was kind to the umpire on balance.
