Returning from Korea: A $30M-$40M man?
从韩职回来：身价落在三千万到四千万美元？
When The Athletic’s Eno Sarris wrote last week about four potential bargains in
free agency, his list included right-hander Cody Ponce, who spent last season i
n Korea and hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021.
《The Athletic》的 Eno Sarris 上周在撰写“自由市场可能的四位划算球员”时，名单中
包括右投 Cody Ponce，他上个赛季在韩职效力，自 2021 年后便未再于大联盟登板
Turns out Ponce might not be quite the bargain teams anticipated. Industry sourc
es briefed on his market expect he will command a three-year deal of at least $3
0 million, and possibly in excess of $40 million. The previous high for a pitche
r returning from Korea was the two-year, $15 million deal that Erick Fedde signe
d with the Chicago White Sox prior to the 2024 season.
结果看起来，Ponce 可能并不是球队原本想像的“便宜货”，熟悉市场的消息来源指出，他
预期能拿到至少三年三千万美元的合约，甚至有可能超过四千万美元，过去从韩职回到美国
的投手最高行情是 Erick Fedde 在 2024 球季前与白袜签下的两年一千五百万美元合约
