2017 record: 77-85(國東第二，國聯第八)
2018 World Series odds: 80-1(與費城人、教士、紅人等七隊並列第22)
The big name here is obviously Giancarlo Stanton, but reports out of Miami
say the new ownership group wants to cut payroll from $115 million to $90
million, which means Dee Gordon and Martin Prado are also on the trade block.
Those three will make a combined $49.3 million in 2018. This is what happens
when you still owe Wei-Yin Chen $30 million the next two seasons.
要講到馬林魚隊上的大明星，當然要先提到剛拿下MVP獎座的「蔣家之光」Giancarlo
Stanton！
然而，邁阿密當地一直有報導，指出剛拿下球隊經營權的新團隊，有意將球員薪資總
額從1.15億美金調降到9千萬，這使得Dee Gordon與Martin Prado這兩位同樣入選過
明星賽的球星，也不可避免地捲入交易風暴–畢竟，這三位球星在明年的薪水加起來
，就將近五千萬美金。當一支重建球隊在未來兩年還欠陳偉殷三千萬時，做交易並
不是一件難以理解的事情。
Will Stanton be dealt? His contract has been much discussed. He'll make $25,
$26 and $26 million the next three seasons, and then he has an opt-out clause
after 2020. He also has full no-trade protection, so if he wants to return to
California (he's from the L.A. area), that limits the Marlins' possible trade
partners.
Stanton最終仍會被交易嗎？他的合約其實在PTT與其他網站已經被討論過上千次了！
在未來三年，他的年薪至少會從2千5百萬起跳，他並且享有在2020球季結束後的合約
脫逃權，甚至完整的交易拒絕權來當保護。所以，一旦他想要回到加州老家(他生長
於洛杉磯附近的郊區)，光這一點就會限制到馬林魚的潛在交易對象。
Without the opt-out, Stanton's deal guarantees him $295 million through 2027.
It all means any Stanton trade will be difficult: Given the size of the
contract and Stanton's lengthy injury history before 2017, the Marlins can't
expect a team to pick up the entirety of the deal and give them a boatload
of prospects.
就算他選擇留在剩餘的合約好了，他當初那筆與馬林魚續簽的天文價碼不僅高達2.95億
，還要到2027才會結束–這幾個前提在在說明︰任何與Stanton有關的交易提案都是困
難的，不僅是因為合約的規模，還包括當事人本身在2017年以前頻繁的傷病史。換句話
說，馬林魚不應該期望任何一支球隊會為了Stanton吃下全額的剩餘合約，還拿出旗下
豐富的農場潛力股來單換他。
What's also unclear is what Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter are trying to build
here. If they really want to rip things up and start over, they have to
consider dealing Marcell Ozuna, who's coming off a monster season and has two
years remaining until free agency. If they're trying to win with a $90
million payroll and no Stanton, well, good luck.
另一個也會讓球迷感到未知的關鍵問題，還包括馬林魚的新老闆Bruce Sherman(最大
股東，也是球隊所屬公司的董事長)與Derek Jeter(球隊CEO)想要為球隊帶來什麼新
事物。假如他們真的把球隊陣容砍掉重練的話，他們恐怕還要把另一位明星球員
Marcell Ozuna納入交易清單中–即使他今年繳出怪獸般的威猛成績，並且還有兩個
球季才會投入自由市場。假如馬林魚高層真的真的想要用9千萬美金的預算，且沒有
Stanton的陣容來贏得球賽的話，那也只能跟他們說「Good Luck」了！
