Scout’s note

Seiya Suzuki's EV95 of 108.7 puts him in the 85th percentile of qualified major-league bats — solid, not special — and his results are running 0.036 ahead of the physics, warm but well short of the fade line. At 32, in his fourth season out of Arakawa, he's hitting .270 with 26 homers and 86 RBI across 143 games for Chicago, and a 4.6 WAR says the production is genuine. He ranks 295th of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. This is who he is.

What the sheet prices each season at

Season2026
Salary$18.0M

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.

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.
