Once the Royals knew they could sign free-agent outfielder Hunter Renfroe, who o
n Friday agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal, they were faced with a difficul
t choice in their pursuit of another starting pitcher.
当皇家以两年1300万美金签下Hunter Renfroe后
他们在如何继续补强先发投手上遇到困难的选择
They could trade first baseman/DH Vinnie Pasquantino to the Marlins for left-han
der Jesús Luzardo, a deal sources said was discussed at the winter meetings.
第一个选择是拿Vinnie Pasquantino去和马大鱼换Jesús Luzardo
这双方在冬季会议期间讨论过
Or they could sign right-hander Michael Wacha, a second-tier free agent who was
in some demand.
或是直接去自由市场签Michael Wacha
Luzardo, under club control for three more seasons, was intriguing. But Pasquant
ino, who did not play after June 9 last season because of a torn labrum in his r
ight shoulder that required surgery, is under club control for five more seasons
and still holds considerable promise. For a team that last season ranked 23rd i
n runs scored, trading Pasquantino for Luzardo would have plugged one hole and c
reated another.
Luzardo还能用三年、Pasquantino能用五年
The front office consulted Sherman. The owner chose to keep pushing forward. And
on Friday, the Royals reached agreement with Wacha on a two-year, $32 million c
ontract. Wacha can opt out after his first season. Right-hander Seth Lugo, who e
arlier agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal, can opt out after his second
管理层就跑去问老板John Sherman
最后老板选择要去自由市场买
所以皇家就用二年3200万美金签下Wacha了
The team’s current $111.7 million payroll, as calculated by Fangraphs, would be
the Royals’ highest on Opening Day since 2018.
目前皇家团队薪资来到111.7M
是自2018年以来最高的数字了
