Scout’s note
Baltimore's Tyler Locklear is a 2022 second-round first baseman now in the Arizona system, and the number that jumps off his line is 72 strikeouts in 62 games against just 6 home runs — the power hasn't cleared the contact trouble yet.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Arizona Diamondbacks.

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