[外電] 皇家一度想去換Jesús Luzardo

https://reurl.cc/D4n35Q 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 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.248.199.143 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1702734840.A.C7D.html
