No, if he was just awarded $1.5M in arbitration then that is what you are paying him for the upcoming season. If you offer him an extension you are negotiating over the season(s) after
that.
So if you just ended the 2017 season, for example, then the arbitration award is his contract for the 2018 season and your extension offer governs the 2019 season and later.
