Known contract calendar
Governed contract events naming this player — dates carry their honest quality.Bones Hyland has a reported contract-control horizon through the 2026 season. The June 30 date is a season-boundary planning proxy, not proof of exact free-agency status.

Function scores, roles, dependence records and contract events are separate evidence. No combined player value, trade value or ranking is computed from them, and none of them is a causal impact claim.
