Only two things will happen with Albert Pujols: he’ll get a contract
extension or he’ll become a free agent, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney.
Don't expect Pujols to accept any trade offers should the Cardinals not be
able to wrap up a contract extension by the beginning of Spring Training.
只有2種可能會發生在小普身上,那就是延長合約或者是成為自由球員,但不要指望
其接受被交易出去,假使紅鳥沒辦法在春訓前達成延長合約
The sides have been negotiating for the past several weeks, and it’s been
reported that St. Louis offered something a little less than $200 million to
their All Star.
過去幾個星期以來雙方談判,紅鳥對於他們的看板給的合約總額不到200M
Being a long-time Major Leaguer with the Cardinals, Pujols has earned
10-and-5 rights which means that if a player has 10 or more years of service
time and 5 or more years on the same team, the team cannot trade the player
without their consent. Traditionally a team would move a high-priced and
soon-to-be free-agent come July if they know they cannot extend the players
contract, but the Cardinals lose this ability because of Pujols’ 10-and-5
rights. Should Pujols become a free agent, the best the Cardinals can get is
a two additional draft picks assuming Pujols gets Type-A free agency
classification.
作為一個長期待在MLB的紅鳥球員,小普可以拒絕任何交易(待在MLB10年並待在
同一球隊滿5年)
因此,假使談判失敗,那麼對紅鳥來說最好的結果就是得到2個補償選秀
