Bronson Arroyo Obtains Ten And Five Rights

Bronson Arroyo didn’t play in yesterday’s game against the Giants, but it
was a significant contest for the right-hander nonetheless. Arroyo now has
ten and five rights and cannot be traded without his permission.
辛辛那提紅人隊投手Bronson Arroyo在昨日面對舊金山巨人隊的比賽並沒有上場，但是
對他而言，這是場意義重大比賽，因為Arroyo在這場比賽後，成為了大聯盟資歷中10-5條
款的一員。
Arroyo began the year with nine years and 150 days of MLB service and
yesterday marked the 22nd day of the Reds’ season. Nine years and 172 days
equates to ten years of service for the 35-year-old, and his last six-plus
seasons have been spent in Cincinnati.
Arroyo在球季開始前，就已具備了9年又150天的大聯盟資歷（只要有172天就算一整年的
年資），昨天的比賽是他本季在紅人隊第22天，因此這位35歲的老將已達到了10年大聯盟
資歷的資格，而且他在生涯後半段有超過6個球季的時間都待在紅人隊，因此他取得了
10-5條款。
Players who have accumulated ten years of Major League service time can't be
traded without their permission if they have spent the last five years with
their current club. If the Reds trade Arroyo, deferred payments on his
current contract are voided and paid up-front by his new team, so it’s
especially hard to imagine a trade in his case.
當一個球員擁有十年以上的年資，同時在最後的這五年都在同一支球隊的話，球隊只有在
取得該球員同意之後，才能將他交易出去。假如紅人隊交易了Arroyo，新球隊還得負擔他
所剩餘的合約，所以Arroyo是不太可能被交易出去的。
