With Zack Greinke set to draw an average salary of $24.5 million over the
next six years, some baseball executives and agents are wondering whether
Clayton Kershaw could become the first pitcher to earn $30 million a year.
很多人认为Z魔神前几天那张约
可能直接影响Kershaw之后的新约
让他成为大联盟史上第一位年薪达到3000万的投手
At 24, Kershaw is five years younger than Greinke. He's also considered a
better pitcher.
Kershaw比Z魔神年轻五岁
"He's a true No. 1," said one agent, who doesn't represent Kershaw.
某个不具名经纪人说他是"真王牌"
Kershaw is heading into the second year of a two-year, $19-million contract.
He can't become a free agent until after the 2014 season.
目前他的两年约已经快走完了,之前这张总额1900万
而他要直到2014年才会成为自由球员
But the closer the left-hander moves to free agency, the closer he could move
to that $30-million-a-year mark. So with Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu now signed,
the Dodgers plan to approach their ace in the near future to talk about a
long-term contract extension.
当他离成为FA的日子越近,他就越有可能成为第一位3000万投手
道奇近日动作频频,也打算在不久的将来,与这位王牌签下长约
"As we get through the next few weeks, we'll look into that and see what we
can do," General Manager Ned Colletti said.
颗颗提:"未来几周内,我们会评估,并且想想有什么能做的"
The Dodgers spent more than $200 million to land Greinke and Ryu. Do they
have enough money remaining to sign Kershaw to a multiyear extension?
(当被问到:)你们已经花了超过2亿签下Z魔神和柳胖,还有钱去跟Kershaw续约吗?
Colletti smiled.
"I believe so," he said.
颗颗提笑了,并且说
"我想是的"
The hip problems Kershaw had near the end of the 2012 season wouldn't prevent
the Dodgers from making a long-term commitment to him, as they believe the
issue won't resurface.
虽然Kershaw的臀部有些"小问题",但这不会影响道奇和他签长约的意愿
Greinke's contract, which became official Monday when the right-hander passed
a physical examination, could serve as a guide in talks. Greinke and Kershaw
are represented by the same agency.
Z魔神的合约,在周一通过体检后,已正式生效
将会成为未来道奇和Kershaw续约的一个"指引"
他俩的幕僚团队刚好也是相同的
The Dodgers might be able to sign Kershaw to a shorter and more
cost-effective deal if they lock him up this winter, as they could offer him
security in exchange for money.
如果道奇这冬天就绑住Kershaw,约应该会比较短,投资也会更有效率
Kershaw said in late August he would be open to discussing a new deal this
winter.
"Yeah, sure, I'm always open to talks," Kershaw said at the time. "I've had a
great time here. I love the guys and I love everything about L.A."
8月底时,Kershaw曾说,他不排斥今年冬天谈新约
"这当然,我很愿意跟他们谈,我在这过得很快乐,我很喜欢他们,也喜欢洛杉矶的一切"
But Kershaw could gamble that he will remain healthy for another season and
wait until next winter. Eligible for salary arbitration and only a year away
from free agency, he might be able to extract a larger payday from the
Dodgers.
但,倘若拖到明年冬天才谈新约,这对Kershaw来说是个赌注,他得要维持健康
如果健康,离成为FA只有一年,势必能从道奇手上接过一纸相当可观的合约
Kershaw could sign a record contract without ever entering the free-agent
market. Cole Hamels wasn't a free agent but was paid like one when he signed
a new contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in July: $144 million over six
years.
Kershaw可能不用进FA就创下投手的合约纪录
费城左投Hamels也是如此,7月时他签下六年1亿4400万的合约
The Dodgers, however, are unlikely to offer Kershaw no-trade protection.
The contract extensions for Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier didn't include
no-trade provisions. Greinke's and Ryu's deals didn't, either.
然而,一如往常地,道奇应该不倾向给他交易否决权
Z魔神. Ethier. Kemp. 柳胖的约也都没有交易否决权
Again, Greinke's contract could offer ideas on how compromises can be reached.
If Greinke is traded, he can void the remainder of the contract at the end of
that season.
Greinke can also become a free agent after three years. The New York Yankees
included a similar escape clause in the seven-year, $161-million deal they
gave CC Sabathia in 2008. Sabathia opted out after three seasons and the
Yankees re-signed him by adding a $30-million extension to his original deal.
如果Z魔神三个球季后跳脱合约,到时的薪资恐怕会更为恐怖
之前CC就这样做过
