小熊将Hamels下赛季20M的球队选项执行，并把Drew Smyly交易到游骑兵
The #Cubs saved the #Rangers $6 million by picking up Cole Hamels’ $20 milli
on option after talks of a 2-year deal broke down. The #Rangers used that mone
y to acquire Drew Smyly and his $7 million contract from #Cubs,as
@jcrasnick 1st reported. So Cubs, Rangers, Hamels all win

小熊和Hamels谈两年约破局后，直接执行明年20M的球队选项，帮游骑兵省下若不执行他
们该付给Hamels的6M买断费，游骑兵利用省下来的钱接收Smyly帮小熊吃薪资空间，所以
小熊、游骑兵、Hamels三方都是赢家。
