The 8.3(A) is just an estimate of what he might earn in arbitration next season. If you sign him to an extension, the 8.3(A) will go away and it will reflect your extension instead. The arbitration estimates just help you plan your finances in the future.

So the answer is no, the 8.3(A) is not part of his contract and you will not pay him that.
