2. Roki Sasaki, RHP
2024 Team: Chiba Lotte Marines
2025 Opening Day Age: 23
Projected Contract: $5 million (signing bonus in a minor league deal)
預測合約5M簽約金的小聯盟約
With indications pointing to Sasaki joining this year's class, we'll include him
here as he immediately would be among the most sought-after players available.
Given the rules in place for players coming over from Japan before they turn 25
years old, it doesn't make any financial sense for him to get his club to post h
im this year because, like Shohei Ohtani, he would be limited to the internation
al bonus pools that are all under $8 million; if he comes after Dec. 15, the poo
ls reset and he could get as much as $7 million or so, but if he comes before he
'll be limited to roughly $2.5 million at most.
大致上提到
有跡象顯示朗希今年會旅美所以記者就把朗希排進來。朗希也受到25歲國際球員規定的限制
所以母隊沒法發大財。如果他是在12月15日海外簽約金重置以後到來的話最高有機會拿到70
0萬，在這之前最多只能拿約250萬。
Coincidentally, the team with that roughly $2.5 million remaining in its pool, t
he most in baseball, is the Dodgers: They are heavily favored to land Sasaki jus
t as they landed Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last offseason. There are some co
mplicating factors for the Dodgers this time, though: Some scouts think Sasaki w
ould prefer a smaller market, and his velocity was down this year, leading some
to believe he's nursing an injury. But teams would be bidding on all of the trad
itional peak years of a pitcher who has been elite for years. That's easily wort
h $200 million to almost any team, but he'll come at a giant discount. That gamb
it paid off for Ohtani and could also pay off for Sasaki, or he could wait two o
ffseasons and get a big payday up front, like Yamamoto did.
巧合的是重置以前簽約額度最高而且還有大概250萬鎂的球隊叫做道奇隊，道奇今年也是簽
下朗希的大熱門。不過這次道奇面臨更複雜的狀況。
有些球探認為朗希偏好小市場，今年下滑的速度也讓人覺得他可能帶傷在投。但各隊都會想
競標一個多年來繳出頂尖成績而且才要進入巔峰期的投手，這樣的球員至少值2億但現在能
用極大的折扣入手。
在這個年紀旅美為大谷帶來了巨大的回報，也有可能複製在朗希身上，不過他也有可能選擇
跟山本一樣多等兩年直接拿大約。
大概是這樣，應該不久以後就知道美國記者是真的有內餡還是在瞎猜了
