Yu Darvish, via Twitter, has indicated six teams are pursuing him in free agen
cy, and Brian Cashman has copped that the Yankees remain among the interested.
前阵子达比修在推特上大嘴巴,宣布有六队正在FA市场上追逐自己。而现今人也亲口证实
他们对达比是有兴趣的。
But it would take creativity for the Yankees to sign Darvish and even with the
below plan, they still might have to find a way to offload a piece of Jacoby
Ellsbury’s contract or deal David Robertson as a way to stay below the $197 m
illion luxury-tax threshold.
但是要想将达比延揽入队,这似乎需要那么点的“创意”。即便达比真的到来,洋基还是
要想办法清楚Ells的合约或是交易萝卜,以达到低于豪华税的目标。
The question is: How can Darvish get what he wants while the Yankees keep the
average annual value (the number used for luxury-tax purposes) down?
现在的问题在于:要如何让达比得到想要的合约,同时让洋基的团队薪资压在197MM之下
呢?
We have to begin with a few suppositions, namely that Darvish has yet to hear
the terms he wants or hear them from a team to which he wants to go, or else w
hy would he still be unsigned three weeks into the new year? The general expec
tation was that he would get $25 million-ish annually for six years when this
offseason began.
首先要清楚的是,达比显然还未从他想要去的球队得到令他满意的报价,否则怎么可能都
已经进入2018好一阵子了他还是个FA呢?一般合理预估他应该会拿到年薪25M左右长度6年
的合约。
My concept would be to offer Darvish a six-year, $120 million deal that is str
uctured this way: $30 million in each of the first two seasons, $20 million in
the middle two and $10 million in the final two, with Darvish having opt-outs
after Years 2 and 4.
我个人(Joel Sherman)的看法是给达比修一份6年120M的合约,并且合约内容如下:前
两年30M/y;第三第四年20M/y;最后两年10M/y;并且在合约第二以及第四年附带球员选
择权。
Darvish has $120 million guaranteed. If he is healthy and pitching well, he ca
n opt out after two years in which he averaged $30 million a season or four ye
ars in which he averaged $25 million.
这样一来达比就有120M的保障薪资。如果他能够保持健康而且投得很好的话,他可以选择
在两年之后跳出合约,如此一来他的合约就是30M/y。或是选择在第四年之后跳出,那么
合约就是25M/y。(但是在计算团队薪资的时候还是以20M/y来计算)
不得不说这个合约很有创意......
总觉得有点怪
又说不上来是哪里怪......
但是看起来好像也蛮可以接受的
大家觉得这合约内容怎么样??
