The Orioles have acquired Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger from the Cubs for
Jake Arrieta, Pedro Strop, and international bonus money, according to Keith
Law of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Feldman, who is headed towards free agency
this winter, has long been viewed as a trade candidate for the Cubs.
The Orioles sent international bonus slots 3 and 4 to the Cubs, according to
the team. That should amount to an additional $388,100 for the Cubs, who had
an international bonus pool of $4,557,200. This is the first MLB trade
involving international bonus pool money.
The Cubs signed Feldman, 30, to a one-year, $6MM deal in November. He was a
prime candidate to be flipped by the 35-45 Cubs, since a qualifying offer in
the $14MM range wouldn't have made sense after the season. He's now
ineligible for such an offer. Feldman owns a 3.46 ERA, 6.6 K/9, 2.5 BB/9,
0.99 HR/9, and 50.7% groundball rate in 91 innings this year. "Feldman is a
proven starter with postseason experience who should help stabilize our
rotation for the second half," Orioles executive vice president of baseball
operations Dan Duquette said in a statement.
小熊用Scott Feldman, Steve Clevenger
跟金鳥盤來了：Jake Arrieta, Pedro Strop, international bonus
金鳥送過去的是international bounus為$388,100美金
這是大聯盟第一起涉及international bounus的交易案
Feldman去年跟小熊簽下一紙一年六百萬的合約
今年91局的投球繳出3.46ERA，6.6K/9, 2.5BB/9,0.99 HR/9,50.7%滾地球比率的成績
看來是各取所需
金鳥拿到一個不錯的先發投手，也算是幫rotation增加一個即戰力
