Contract Value Index (CVI)

Great Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
The A+ Contract Value Index on Adrian Morejon's deal stems from how WAR-level output tracks with AAV. At $3.9M on a one-year agreement for an established veteran reliever, Morejon is earning elite value — his A-grade performance paired with a sub-$4M salary creates the kind of arbitrage that front offices dream about in the bullpen. Through the 2026 season, his 4 wins and 35 strikeouts across 28 games reflect a high-leverage arm operating at full capacity, the kind of production typically reserved for proven closers or setup men commanding significantly more on the open market. For a 27-year-old left-hander in his eighth season, this represents the sweet spot of contract efficiency: old enough to demonstrate consistent output, young enough that upside remains credible, yet compensated as though he were still in development. The media narrative around Morejon — centered on a velocity spike, improved command, and organizational urgency to lock him up on an extension — underscores that this is not a discount born of doubt but rather a function of his previous arbitration history and the Padres' front office recognition that they've found an outlier value. With a one-year runway and performance already tracking elite, the CVI reflects the rare alignment of sub-market compensation meeting franchise-caliber results, making this one of the league's cleanest reliever contracts in the current landscape.
