Report: Phillies willing to pay teams $50 million to take Ryan Howard
Ryan Howard has two years and $60 million left on his $125 million contract
and Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports that the Phillies are willing to
cover $50 million of that money if a team trades for him.
Ryan Howard目前跟费城人还有两年6000万合约要走,而如果有球队愿意收下Howard的话,
费城人愿意吃掉这6000万中的5000万。
That sounds like a lot and it is, but it also means any team trading for
Howard would still have to commit to paying $10 million for two seasons of a
35-year-old, poor defensive first baseman who slugged just .380 last season
and has a combined .720 OPS during the past three seasons.
不过这也意味着,接手的球队必须付两年1000万的合约,予一位已经35岁、防守极烂、去
年长打率仅有.38、过去三年的攻击指数仅有.72的一垒手。
Howard has essentially been a replacement-level first baseman for a long time
now, meaning teams can typically find his level of production–low batting
average, decent power, .700 OPS–in lots of first basemen available for
minor-league deals and waiver claims every year. Those guys cost $500,000 per
season, not $5 million.
这几乎已经是替补水平的成绩了,这类人通常一年只需花用50万,而非500万。
意思是:虽然费城目前心态已经趋近了“只要把他带走,怎样都好”,但恐怕仍不会有太
多球队愿意买帐。
