Ellsbury Contract Is A Guidepost For Shin-Soo Choo
By Edward Creech [December 8, 2013 at 5:50pm CST]
A club in on Shin-Soo Choo tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post the seven-
year, $153MM contract Jacoby Ellsbury agreed to with the Yankees is being used
as the guidepost in their negotiations (Twitter link). The club expects the
final number to be somewhere between Ellsbury's deal and Jayson Werth's seven-
year, $126MM pact with the Nationals. All three players are represented by
Scott Boras, per MLBTR's Agency Database.
Several teams have been linked to Choo with varying degress of interest
including the Rangers, Mariners, Tigers, Reds, Giants, Astros, and Yankees
(before coming to terms with Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran). MLBTR's Tim Dierkes
predicted a six-year, $100MM contract for Choo, but the frenzied free agent
spending spree this offseason makes that estimate seem quite low. Choo is the
highest ranked free agent remaining on MLBTR's 2014 Top 50 Free Agents list.
簡單來說，
從Ellsbury的合約中獲益最大的其他選手莫過於是秋信守了，
有消息指出秋信守(或者可以說Scott Boras)正在尋求一份
Ellsbury(153MM/7Y)跟Jayson Werth(126MM/7Y)之間的合約，
一開始預測秋信守合約大概落在100MM/6Y左右在看到今年冬天
大家對FA的瘋狂之後看來是有所低估了
