I also wonder how they process Heyward?  Obviously mlb bills him for 2023.  But I wonder whether in a sense "banked dollars" were accounted to erase Heyward obligation? 

It's interesting that Stroman's deal drops by $4 in 24.  Add that to Hendricks and Heyward, and it's $40 coming off. 

Happ and Hoerner are the only meaningful guys in the Arb stage.  Hoerner will be Arb 1 this year.  So he'll inflate.  But other than relief pitchers or Madrigal, it's a couple years out before built-in arb-inflation will start to be significant.
