Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said before Wednesday’s season finale
against the Marlins that his highest priority this offseason is to work out
new deals with David Wright and R.A. Dickey. He’s determined to stay true to
his word.
梅子GM Sandy Alderson在星期三季赛最后一场对马大鱼的赛前提到，完成Wright和
Dickey的新合约是他季赛后首要任务。他下决心要尽力完成他的承诺。
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, a baseball source said that it’
s “conceivable” that the club could have new deals with both players, at
least in principle, by the time the World Series begins later this month.
根据Mike Puma于纽约邮报的消息指出，球团很有可能与这两位球员完成新合约，原则上
最迟在本月底世界大赛开始时。
The Mets hold club options on Wright ($16 million) and Dickey ($5 million)
for next season, but each intend to test free agency if extensions aren’t
worked out by spring training. Alderson has spoken with Wright’s
representatives this week and it’s believed that he’ll seek a contract of
at least seven years and $125 million. Alderson hasn’t discussed numbers
with Dickey’s agent yet, but one “veteran agent” told Puma that the
veteran knuckleballer will likely be getting “Oliver Perez dollars.”
Painful reference aside, that means three years and $36 million.
梅子球团拥有Wright (16M) 和Dickey (5M) 下个球季的选择权，但如果在春训前无法顺
利延长两位球员的合约，他们很有可能会去自由市场试水温。本周Alderson已和Wright
的经纪人会晤过，大家认为Wright会寻找一份至少7y/125M的合约。Alderson至今尚未对
Dickey的合约进行讨论，一位资深经纪人 (veteran agent) 告诉Puma说这位蝴蝶球老将
应该想要Oliver Perez等级的合约，也就是3y/36M令梅子迷伤痛的回忆。
It would be great news if the Mets can lock up their two big stars for the
long haul, but the club is expected to have a payroll around $100 million in
2013. With Johan Santana ($25.5 million and $5.5 million buyout for 2014) and
Jason Bay ($16 million and $3 million buyout for 2014) making up half of that
total, you can forget about them doing anything significant in free agency
this winter. And this report by Richard Sandomir in the New York Times
indicates that ownership is still hard up for cash.
梅子如果能用长约绑住这两位巨星将是件好消息，但球团预计2013的薪资总额约在100M左
右。山大王 (25.5M, 2014年5.5M买断) 和湾哥 (16M, 2014年3M买断) 已占住一半的薪资
总额，你可以不用期待梅子在今年冬天的自由市场做些什么。纽约时报的Richard
Sandomir在报导指出，老板手头现金仍相当吃紧。
