Cots says the MLBPA values the contract at 228.9 million. The MLBPA values Scherzer's contract at 191.4 million.
So if we believe that CBT numbers are based on MLBPA values, Max's should be 27.3 MM AAV.
But it's not. Max is 28.6. This is because over half his deal is deferred with no interest.
Strasburg's contract has interest, so that negates any CBT reduction similar to Scherzer's.
Strasburg’s contract has only 1 percent interest. So it’s value is discounted. Just not as much a Max’s
