According to the San Francisco Chronicle:

the signing puts the Giants above the Collective Bargaining Tax as a first-time payor as of now and for the first time since 2017. The number is calculated officially at the end of the year, but the organization will have to pay 20% on every dollar over the $237 million threshold if it remains over the limit.

Happy to get Snell but the salary expenditures will always bug me.
