Around the basepaths
Two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell has informed the Houston Astros that he’s
willing to sign a short-term deal to join them, but is seeking at least a tw
o-year guarantee for $66 million, that includes an opt-out after the 2024 season
.
Snell已告知太空人愿意签短约加盟，但他想要至少两年6600万镁的保障约，附带2024年季
后的逃脱权
The Astros are intrigued, club officials says, but are the latest team to balk a
t his asking price.
球团官员称太空人有兴趣，但他们也是最新一支对这个报价感到犹豫的球队
The Astros, who began exchanging proposals with agent Scott Boras earlier in the
week, are waiting to see if the price-tag drops. The Astros’ concern is that t
hey will be over the third luxury tax threshold if they sign Snell.
太空人队在本周稍早已经跟波拉斯交换了数字，并且正在观望Snell会不会降价，他们的疑
虑在于签下Snell将突破第三层豪华税
They have a projected luxury payroll of $256.828 million, according to Cot’s Co
ntracts, and will eclipse the second tax threshold of $277 million (45% surcharg
e) if they sign Snell to a contract exceeding $20 million a year.
目前太空人的团队薪资大约256.8M，只要Snell年薪超过20M就会突破豪华税第二层的天花板
The San Francisco Giants remain in the picture for Snell, but also are waiting f
or Snell to lower his demands, just as they did when they signed third baseman M
att Chapman to a three-year, $52 million contract with opt-outs after each year.
巨人队仍然对Snell有兴趣，不过一样在等他降价，就跟他们签下Chapman前做的事情一样
