Scout’s note
Tommy White, a 2024 second-rounder from St. Petersburg, debuted in July at 23 and has hit .254 with 3 home runs across 56 major-league games. The one thing his line says: he doesn't walk enough yet to clear a .600 OPS, and his last 14 MLB days — 4 games, 5 strikeouts, no walks — show the same problem.

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

This White Sox team has Catholic God on their side. Players on the other 29 teams spend every post game interview giving glory to Protestant God, but their megachurch pastors in skinny jeans are powerless compared to the Pope.
Umpire favor
+0.2 net runs over 18 graded games — an even shake from the zone this season.
