Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said before Wednesday’s season finale
against the Marlins that his highest priority this offseason is to work out
new deals with David Wright and R.A. Dickey. He’s determined to stay true to
his word.
梅子GM Sandy Alderson在星期三季賽最後一場對馬大魚的賽前提到，完成Wright和
Dickey的新合約是他季賽後首要任務。他下決心要盡力完成他的承諾。
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, a baseball source said that it’
s “conceivable” that the club could have new deals with both players, at
least in principle, by the time the World Series begins later this month.
根據Mike Puma於紐約郵報的消息指出，球團很有可能與這兩位球員完成新合約，原則上
最遲在本月底世界大賽開始時。
The Mets hold club options on Wright ($16 million) and Dickey ($5 million)
for next season, but each intend to test free agency if extensions aren’t
worked out by spring training. Alderson has spoken with Wright’s
representatives this week and it’s believed that he’ll seek a contract of
at least seven years and $125 million. Alderson hasn’t discussed numbers
with Dickey’s agent yet, but one “veteran agent” told Puma that the
veteran knuckleballer will likely be getting “Oliver Perez dollars.”
Painful reference aside, that means three years and $36 million.
梅子球團擁有Wright (16M) 和Dickey (5M) 下個球季的選擇權，但如果在春訓前無法順
利延長兩位球員的合約，他們很有可能會去自由市場試水溫。本周Alderson已和Wright
的經紀人會晤過，大家認為Wright會尋找一份至少7y/125M的合約。Alderson至今尚未對
Dickey的合約進行討論，一位資深經紀人 (veteran agent) 告訴Puma說這位蝴蝶球老將
應該想要Oliver Perez等級的合約，也就是3y/36M令梅子迷傷痛的回憶。
It would be great news if the Mets can lock up their two big stars for the
long haul, but the club is expected to have a payroll around $100 million in
2013. With Johan Santana ($25.5 million and $5.5 million buyout for 2014) and
Jason Bay ($16 million and $3 million buyout for 2014) making up half of that
total, you can forget about them doing anything significant in free agency
this winter. And this report by Richard Sandomir in the New York Times
indicates that ownership is still hard up for cash.
梅子如果能用長約綁住這兩位巨星將是件好消息，但球團預計2013的薪資總額約在100M左
右。山大王 (25.5M, 2014年5.5M買斷) 和灣哥 (16M, 2014年3M買斷) 已佔住一半的薪資
總額，你可以不用期待梅子在今年冬天的自由市場做些什麼。紐約時報的Richard
Sandomir在報導指出，老闆手頭現金仍相當吃緊。
