Scout’s note
Wandy Peralta is a 35-year-old lefty reliever out of San Francisco de Macoris, in his tenth big-league season with 426 career strikeouts. Over his last 14 days in the majors he's appeared 3 times with 2 strikeouts — a quiet September for a veteran lefty who's been around since 2016.

What he’s paid
ArbitrationA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s.
- 2026 salary
- $4.45M
- Tax hit
- $4.13M
- Service time
- 9 yr 168 d
- Guaranteed
- $17M
The deal 4 years $16.5M (2024–2027) — $4.1M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 4 y/$16.5M (24-27) · agent MAS+ · 1 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2028 |
|---|---|
| Cash | Free agent |
| Tax hit | — |
Regime flagged: the sheet's out-year codes read arbitration and 9.168 reads free_agency. Kept the sheet's; Super Two and optional assignments move this line and the service boundary cannot see them.
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, San Diego Padres.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.
- Tax AAV
- $4.1M
- Guaranteed
- $16.5M
- Term
- 4 yrs
What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $4.5M | $4.5M |
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.
