Ethan Hullihen @ethanhullihen.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Worked up a 2026 projection: As usual, this is all internal players, with pending free agents (and a few cuts for R5 adds) removed for a 2026 baseline.

Ethan Hullihen @ethanhullihen.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I'm not the foremost expert here, but: 1. Yes, AAV is calculated at PV, which is lower than face value 2. The deferral rate is determined when the deal is signed, and I don't think it changes 3. They can, but usually don't. Arenado is only contract I know of with interest on deferrals 110 0
Ethan Hullihen @ethanhullihen.bsky.social · 19/01/2025The team announced the deal, is all I know. Well, both I guess. I don't think I ever confirmed the roster to be at 40, just knew it was at 39. 010 0

Ethan Hullihen @ethanhullihen.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Which is why I was trying to show that in a better way than simply "> than 1".

Ethan Hullihen @ethanhullihen.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Okay, so you're contending this is more representative (which makes sense). What is your opinion on the other numbers in this case? Also, I was trying to represent the "> than 1" figure in a practical way. Does standard deviation do that, or do you have any better ideas? 100 0
