Around the basepaths
Two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell has informed the Houston Astros that he’s
willing to sign a short-term deal to join them, but is seeking at least a tw
o-year guarantee for $66 million, that includes an opt-out after the 2024 season
.
Snell已告知太空人願意簽短約加盟，但他想要至少兩年6600萬鎂的保障約，附帶2024年季
後的逃脫權
The Astros are intrigued, club officials says, but are the latest team to balk a
t his asking price.
球團官員稱太空人有興趣，但他們也是最新一支對這個報價感到猶豫的球隊
The Astros, who began exchanging proposals with agent Scott Boras earlier in the
week, are waiting to see if the price-tag drops. The Astros’ concern is that t
hey will be over the third luxury tax threshold if they sign Snell.
太空人隊在本週稍早已經跟波拉斯交換了數字，並且正在觀望Snell會不會降價，他們的疑
慮在於簽下Snell將突破第三層豪華稅
They have a projected luxury payroll of $256.828 million, according to Cot’s Co
ntracts, and will eclipse the second tax threshold of $277 million (45% surcharg
e) if they sign Snell to a contract exceeding $20 million a year.
目前太空人的團隊薪資大約256.8M，只要Snell年薪超過20M就會突破豪華稅第二層的天花板
The San Francisco Giants remain in the picture for Snell, but also are waiting f
or Snell to lower his demands, just as they did when they signed third baseman M
att Chapman to a three-year, $52 million contract with opt-outs after each year.
巨人隊仍然對Snell有興趣，不過一樣在等他降價，就跟他們簽下Chapman前做的事情一樣
