Fewer people care about how much the contract is worth. Fewer people still care about the year-by-year breakdown of said contract. So here we are, with the year-by-year breakdown of said contract! We will smother you with numbers.

So, if Bumgarner isn't designated a Super 2 player, he will work his way up from $0.75 million to $11.5 million. If he is designated a Super 2 player, he will work his way up from $3 million to $12 million. It's kind of a shame that Super 2 includes the number 2 because I think it would be neat if there were super players and non-super players. I mean, there already are, but they aren't labeled as such.
