Darren O’Day Has Multiple Offers In Hand
内文：
By Steve Adams | November 10, 2015 at 11:10pm CST
The market for free-agent right-hander Darren O’Day is moving quickly,
reports ESPN’s Buster Olney (links to Twitter). The Beverly Hills Sports
Council client already has offers in hand, according to Olney, and he’s
planning to meet with the managers of some of those teams in the coming week.
Olney lists the Tigers, Red Sox and Giants as three clubs to have shown
interest in O’Day, though it’s not known if any of those three are among
the teams to have extended a formal offer.
从Beverly Hills Sports Council经纪公司得知，右投Darren O’Day已经得到不少的报价
。而从ESPN的记者表示，他将会在未来一周会面一些球团，包含老虎、红袜及巨人等三个
球团，都对O’Day有兴趣，然而这并不表示前述三队会再给比之前的一份更大的offer。
Typically, it behooves free agents — especially relievers — to sign
contracts early in the offseason. A look back to November relief signings
over the past few years shows the likes of Zach Duke (three years, $15MM),
Joe Smith (three years, $15.75MM), Javier Lopez (three years, $13MM),
Jonathan Broxton (three years, $21MM), Jeremy Affeldt (three years, $18MM)
and Joaquin Benoit (three years, $16.5MM back in 2010) all landed sizable
contracts despite not being considered the top names on the free agent
market. Of course, O’Day also has the advantage of being the consensus top
name on this year’s relief market, so perhaps it’s not as crucial for him
to sign early. Still, striking early while each club has its entire offseason
budget at its disposal isn’t a bad route for O’Day’s camp.
历史案例指出，后援投手都会在休季不久后就开始签约。案例如：
1. Zach Duke ($15MM/3YR)
2. Joe Smith ($15.75MM/3YR)
3. Javier Lopez ($13MM/3YR)
4. Jonathan Broxton ($21MM/3YR)
5. Jeremy Affeldt ($18MM/3YR)
6. Joaquin Benoit ($16.5MM/3YR, back in 2010)
以上这些看起来非顶级的RP，但都签了一份相当可观的合约。当然，O’Day可说是今年救
援投手中排名前几位的，所以签约是不是要签这么早对他就并不是这么重要了。另一方面
，这样也可以从每个球团他整季的预算来看，花在O’Day身上得花多少。
Over the past four seasons, the 32-year-old O’Day has worked to a 1.92 ERA
with 9.7 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9. He saved his best season for his contract year,
establishing new career-bests in ERA (1.52) and K/9 (11.3); opponents batted
just .198/.257/.283 against O’Day. He yielded just a .210/.293/.333 batting
line to left-handed hitters and dominated right-handed bats, who mustered
only a .192/.236/.256 line against him.
32岁的他在合约年之前，缴出了生涯年的成绩，包含ERA(1.52)、K/9 (11.3)、BB/9(2.1)
、被对手打击三围.198/.257/.283、被左打三围 .210/.293/.333，更不用说对右打的三
围.192/.236/.256。
Interest in O’Day was said to be “steep” from day one at the GM Meetings,
with the Cubs, Royals, Nationals and Dodgers all being connected to the
former Oriole yesterday as well.
随着GM Meetings的到来，球团对O’Day的兴趣越来越高，包含小熊、皇家、国民跟道奇
都是。

备注：
O’Day大概是今年FA中RP排名前几位的顶级RP，他到底会去哪一队呢？
