The total pay he'll get is $8 million.

So that means the contract is guaranteed. It was your comment suggesting that some players do not have guaranteed contracts that puzzled me. My understanding is that the current MLB/Player CBA says all contracts are fully guaranteed.
Just as a point of reference some non-arb players sign 2 year contracts. So do some arb eligible players. Fringe players who opt for security vs dollars. In either case if these players are released the entire contract becomes payable.
