Contract, season by season
Terms: arbitration 2028–2029
| Season | Cap hit | Worth | Surplus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $1.30M | $1.0M | $0.0M |
| 2028 | $1.04M | $0.2M | $0.0M |
| 2029 | $0.97M | $0.1M | $0.0M |
2027 cap dollars. Surplus = worth minus his cap hit; an unsettled arbitration year counts 2.5 times its expected award, zero in a year he would not be worth it, since he can be non-tendered.
