Reds closer Iglesias agrees to $24,125,000, 3-year deal
紅人守護神Iglesias同意三年2412萬5千鎂的合約
CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds closer Raisel Iglesias agreed Wednesday to a
three-year contract guaranteeing $24,125,000, a deal that avoided arbitration.
紅人守護神Raisel Iglesias星期三同意一份三年2412萬5千鎂的合約，避免薪資仲裁。
Iglesias reached a $27 million, seven-year agreement in 2014 that allowed him
to void the remainder of the deal once he was eligible for salary
arbitration. That agreement called for $5 million salaries in each of the
next two seasons.
Iglesias在2014年拿到7年2700萬鎂的合約，而且可以在當他可以提薪資仲裁的時候原本剩
下合約就會失效。那份舊約是接下來的兩個球季每年500萬鎂。
He made $4.5 million this year, when he had a career-high 30 saves in 34
chances and a 2.38 ERA.
今年他薪水是450萬鎂，34次出場，拿下生涯最高30救援成功，ERA 2.38。
Rather than having Iglesias eligible for arbitration each season, the Reds
offered a restructured deal that gives both sides certainty.
與其讓Iglesias每年都提薪資仲裁，紅人重新提了新的合約，這讓雙方都有了確定感。
"If he does what we've seen him do over the next three years, there's all
sorts of ways he can outperform these numbers," Reds president of baseball
operations Dick Williams said. "Obviously both sides are taking on some risk
here, and both sides getting paid to take on some risk."
「若是在未來三年他持續表現我們過去所看到的，他會有很多方式展現出比這價碼更好的
表現的，」紅人球隊營運長Dick Williams說。「很明顯的我們雙方都想要冒一點險，但是
雙方都會從冒險中得到回報。」
The Reds are trying to emerge from a massive rebuild that's left them with
three straight 90-loss seasons. Last year, they added setup men Jared Hughes
and David Hernandez to the bullpen and got significant improvement. Their
priority this offseason is to add a couple of veteran starters.
紅人試著從重建中慢慢崛起，連續三年超過90敗。去年他們在牛棚裡加了佈局投手Jared
Hughes跟David Hernandez收到了很好成效，今年休賽季的主要目標是加上幾位老將先發投
手。
They also hired David Bell as their manager in the offseason. Williams said
Bell and his staff are looking at different ways to use Iglesias, who isn't
limited to a ninth-inning role like many other closers. Over the last three
seasons, Iglesias has 24 saves of more than one inning, the most in the
majors.
他們也在休賽季新聘了David Bell當總教練，Williams表示Bell跟他的教練團對於如何使
用Iglesias有不同的看法，可以不用像其他隊伍終結者一樣只在9局上場。過去三季，
Iglesias有過24次出賽超過一局，是聯盟最多的。
"He's appeared in crucial situations in the middle of games," Williams said.
"Obviously he's done it as well as anybody at the end of the game.
「他在比賽中間段很重要的狀況就會上場，」Williams說。「很顯然，他中間段跟比賽末
段都做的一樣好。」
"We want to be able to maximize the value of Iglesias."
「我們希望把Iglesias的價值最大化。」
