Scout’s note
Shane Bieber is a 31-year-old right-hander out of Orange, California, drafted by Toronto in the fourth round in 2016. He's run up 1,039 strikeouts in 154 big-league games, and that strikeout total is the one thing his line still shouts.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 |
|---|---|
| Salary | $16.0M |
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.

The Bureau on Shane Bieber
The scouting press, in their own words
Kyle Schwarber just took Shane Bieber deep for a three-run HR, snapping a 17-game homerless streak, which was tied for the second-longest homer drought of his career (21 games in 2020 with the Cubs).
Umpire favor
+0.1 net runs over 11 graded games — an even shake from the zone this season.
