Twins, Jorge Polanco finalizing seven-year extension
Jeff Passan(ESPN)
Shortstop Jorge Polanco and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a contract
extension that will cover seven years and guarantee around $25 million, a
league source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN on Thursday.
The contract will buy out Polanco's last pre-arbitration season, all three
arbitration seasons and up to three free-agent years. At least five years
will be guaranteed, and the overall value could jump if the Twins exercise
the club option that can take the deal to a seventh season.
一口氣延長七年，其中2024和2025是球隊選擇權，確定被保障的五年則是25M，
涵蓋了仲裁前的最後一年底薪年、三年仲裁年、三年FA。
這和笑臉的拉米(5年25M)、紅雀的Wong(5年25.5M)頗類似，都是自家養成的內野手
25歲的Polanco近兩年成績:
Polanco 2017: .256/.313/.410, 13 HR, 74 RBI, 30 2B, 13 SB (133 games)
Polanco 2018: .288/.345/.427, 6 HR, 42 RBI, 18 2B, 7 SB (77 games)
去年開季前因藥檢未過而被禁賽80場
至於簽長約會不會"擋"到農場大物Royce Lewis呢，不會
因為Polanco很可能移防二壘(今年的Schoop應該只是過客，除非好到受不了...)
而他在二游的攻擊數據都優於聯盟平均
Polanco, 2016-2018: .271/.327/.418
MLB SS, 2016-2018: .262/.318/.413
MLB 2B, 2016-2018: .267/.328/.418
Update修文並改外面標題一下，帥哥外野Kepler也被綁啦
It’s a five-year deal worth $35MM for Kepler, reports MLB Network’s Jon
Heyman (via Twitter). The deal also contains a club option for a sixth
season, which is valued at $10MM, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
