Three days after the record deal was done, and star shortstop Carlos Correa was
gone to the San Francisco Giants for a shortstop-record $350 million, you could
still hear a tinge of disappointment in Steve Cohen’s voice.
“We’re trying,” the Mets owner told me by phone to start a half hour conversa
tion about how he could operate with only winning in mind, and possibly spend so
much money and accept such a large tax hit (and very likely overall franchise f
inancial loss) without seemingly feeling any pain.
“We’re definitely trying.”
梅子老板亲口证实他们真的曾试图签下Carlos Correa
But alas, Boras told Cohen they were “already down the road” (or words to that
effect) with someone else, meaning they were committed to finishing the contrac
t with what turned out to be the Giants for what became another eye-popping cont
ract. Once the Giants moved from slightly over $300 million to the winning figur
e — which accounted for Correa being slightly younger than Trea Turner, who’d
gotten $300 million and 11 years from the Phillies — they had their man, the mo
st expensive second choice in baseball history (as we all now, they tried hard f
irst for superstar Aaron Judge).
但当时波拉斯和梅子老板说，它们已经快和一支球队签约了
Cohen’s suggestion to the Correa camp that he could pay close to $300 million w
ould have brought the Mets’ payroll to an unheard of $375 million (and counting
) even if he’d gotten the long, 13-year deal he seemed to favor and the AAV (an
nual salary) was “only” about $23 million.
梅子老板和Correa阵营说
他愿意给他接近300M的报价，但年限他希望是在13年
让他的AAV压到23M
但就算如此，梅子的团队薪资还是会来到375M
“But we would have gotten a good ballplayer, and it would have given us a great
ball team,” Cohen said.
梅子老板:值得拉
“The tax was 70 cents. Now 90 cents,” Cohen said matter-of-factly, almost as i
f we were talking about actual pennies. What he means is that it’s now 90 cents
on the dollar. So if he were to sign Correa for, say, $23 million a year, his t
ax bill would rise by 90 percent (not 90 cents!), or another $20 million.
谈到Steve Cohen tax
“It’s only another 20 cents,” Cohen said. “It wasn’t like all or nothing. Y
ou have to decide. You either pay it or you don’t.”
梅子老板:就多缴20%而已呀
