Andrew McCutchen’s leaked pay stub caused quite the ruckus on the Internet Friday, but of all people, McCutchen seems to be the most laid-back party involved.
“It's no big deal,” McCutchen said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “It's not like my routing number was on there so someone could hack into my account. I still got paid. That money's in my account. I'm happy. I ain't worried.”

The original photo of McCuthen’s pay stub displayed phone numbers, voucher IDs, addresses and the last four digits of McCutchen’s bank account, though a censored version of the photo later appeared on Deadspin.
The Reddit user that posted the original photo claimed a friend found it during a tour of the visitor’s clubhouse at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs hosted the Pirates for a three-game series last weekend.
“My wife mentioned it to me. We laughed about it,” McCutchen said. “Am I mad? I don't like that my personal information is out there, but I guess next time I'll make sure I have all my stuff on me so no one can get hold of it.”

Arguably more staggering that the money deposited into McCutchen's account ($427,098.49), was the amount taken out of his pay after a laundry list of taxes and deductions.
“It's no surprise what I make,” McCutchen said. “It is a surprise, though, for people to see all those taxes that get taken out. Yeah, I bet they didn't know anything about that. Well, now you know.”
