Once the Royals knew they could sign free-agent outfielder Hunter Renfroe, who o
n Friday agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal, they were faced with a difficul
t choice in their pursuit of another starting pitcher.
當皇家以兩年1300萬美金簽下Hunter Renfroe後
他們在如何繼續補強先發投手上遇到困難的選擇
They could trade first baseman/DH Vinnie Pasquantino to the Marlins for left-han
der Jesús Luzardo, a deal sources said was discussed at the winter meetings.
第一個選擇是拿Vinnie Pasquantino去和馬大魚換Jesús Luzardo
這雙方在冬季會議期間討論過
Or they could sign right-hander Michael Wacha, a second-tier free agent who was
in some demand.
或是直接去自由市場簽Michael Wacha
Luzardo, under club control for three more seasons, was intriguing. But Pasquant
ino, who did not play after June 9 last season because of a torn labrum in his r
ight shoulder that required surgery, is under club control for five more seasons
and still holds considerable promise. For a team that last season ranked 23rd i
n runs scored, trading Pasquantino for Luzardo would have plugged one hole and c
reated another.
Luzardo還能用三年、Pasquantino能用五年
The front office consulted Sherman. The owner chose to keep pushing forward. And
on Friday, the Royals reached agreement with Wacha on a two-year, $32 million c
ontract. Wacha can opt out after his first season. Right-hander Seth Lugo, who e
arlier agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal, can opt out after his second
管理層就跑去問老闆John Sherman
最後老闆選擇要去自由市場買
所以皇家就用二年3200萬美金簽下Wacha了
The team’s current $111.7 million payroll, as calculated by Fangraphs, would be
the Royals’ highest on Opening Day since 2018.
目前皇家團隊薪資來到111.7M
是自2018年以來最高的數字了
