Scout’s note
Contreras hits the ball at 108.045 EV95 — 78th percentile of 369 qualified bats, a good step above the 105.9 median. His luck gap is -0.0343: results running slightly below what the physics support, a little owed, but not enough to flag. He sits No. 59 of 369 on the breakout composite, and the board takes 20. Out of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, debuted in 2020, now 28 and catching every day for Milwaukee with 65 RBI in 120 games. The gap is small; the contact is real.

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

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $9.4M | $14.5M |
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.
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.
