Per USA Today: $4 million to sign, then bases of 2, 3, 4, and 4 in y1-4.

Pretty player-friendly structure. Even though the guarantee is $4 million, the effective guarantee is two years. Can't save money by releasing him until June 1, 2015.

Rich Tandler says exactly $3 million on the 2014 cap, and I'll confirm his math is correct.

Also according to USA today, some of the yearly salaries are tied up in workout bonuses (or de-escalators). So $17 million is the max value of the deal, but if Lauvao doesn't hit the workout bonus, he will earn less.
