Why is baseball’s richest owner squeezing his minor leaguers for pocket change?

节录几段出来
这篇根据Advocates for Minor [email protected]的推文
把费城人拿来当对照组

The Mets and the Phillies are about to wrap up their weekend series. Between the
two teams, who would you rather play for?

The Phillies fully cover the team hotel for players in High-A Jersey Shore while
providing a housing stipend at other levels of the system and an out-of-season
salary for players at extended spring training before the Florida Complex League
starts. The Mets do none of that, as the organization Advocates for Minor Leagu
ers pointed out over the weekend.
费城人全额支付高阶1A球员的饭店住宿费
而其他层级也都有居住津贴
此外延长春训也都有支付薪水(等待新人联盟开季)
反观大都会则全数没补助+延长春训不支薪
A Mets source said that while players in High-A Brooklyn are charged $300 a mont
h for the team hotel, the two-person rooms cost $100 per night.
以梅子高阶1A布鲁克林旋风(Brooklyn Cyclones)的球员为例
消息指出，他们每个月须支付300美金的饭店钱
Harry Marino, a minor leaguer-turned-lawyer who runs Advocates for Minor Leaguer
s, estimated that the hotel deduction was a sixth of players’ post-tax salary,
and that Cohen’s Mets could simply make the hotel free for a cost of about an a
dditional $50,000 annually. A major league club spends more than that on laundry
in a season
这占了球员税后薪水的1/6
但其实Steve Cohen若帮他们付这笔钱
每年也只需增加5万美金的支出
这数字比大联盟花的洗衣费还少XD
“The Mets only charge the Brooklyn players $10 per day to stay in the team hote
l, demonstrating an understanding that no player can afford the actual cost of t
he room on his paltry salary,”
每月300美金，相当于每日10美
这也表示以球员的薪水根本付不起实际的住宿钱
(这边应该是指大都会其实也少收钱惹XD)
Speaking of laundry, the Mets do cover that cost for players at extended spring
training, for what that’s worth. The Mets also pay players at all levels at lea
st $100 a month more than the new baseball-wide minimums, the team source said.
But those minimums are positively puny: $500 a week at Class A, $600 at Double-A
, $700 at Triple-A, and only during the season.
但说到洗衣，梅子倒是会帮延长春训球员付这笔钱
然后所有层级每月薪水也比最低规定高至少100美金
1A:每周500美金
2A:每周600美金
3A:每周700美金
但一样只有球季中才支付
最后这篇新闻的结语
“The Mets have the richest owner in all of baseball. ... That they send players
to the most expensive city in the country, pay them less than $10,000 a year af
ter taxes, and then charge them a nominal fee to stay in the team hotel, is insu
lting.
梅子拥有全大联盟最有钱的老板
它们将旗下小联盟球员放在最贵的城市里(刚看小联盟主场多半在纽约附近XD)
但却只支付每年税后不到1万美的薪水
然后入住饭店，还要每天象征式收个10美金
It doesn’t matter if this is how it’s always been done. New ownership promised
better, and this is not better,” Marino said. “Mets fans and players deserve
more.”
以前是不是都这样做不重要
因为新的老板承诺会弄更好，但实际上没有
梅子粉丝、球员值得比现在更多的
注: Steve Cohen买下球队时，有说过会重建好梅子的农场
As Steve Cohen took over the Mets, he repeatedly emphasized his desire to rebuil
d the Mets’ depleted farm system. When he called the Dodgers a model franchise,
he didn’t cite their blockbuster spending; he said he admired their “really s
trong farm system.”
