I'd be quite willing to wager that Villa and Reyna (along with probably 1 or 2 others) are players who will cross that threshold by the end of the year, but might not if they are removed from the active roster. If you look in their player pages, I'd bet you'd see an estimated arbitration value under their contract tab. If it isn't this, I have no idea what's happening there.

You're correct. Reyna has an arby estimate of $7m and Villa has an arby estimate of $11.25m. Moreno is an extra $3m. So thats basically it right there.
Pretty unfair financial AI.
