According to ESPN.com's Buster Olney, should the Rakuten Golden Eagles hesitate
when it comes time to post coveted right-hander Masahiro Tanaka and thus make
him available to MLB teams, then other Japanese clubs may contribute to the
posting fee in order to make it more enticing to Rakuten.
As previously noted in this space, the MLB-NPB agreement caps posting fees at
$20 million, which is a substantial discount relative to high-end posting fees
of the recent past (Yu Darvish and Daisuke Matsuzaka each commanded a posting
fee in excess of $50 million, for instance). Rakuten brass has previously
hinted that the reduced posting fee may persuade them not to post Tanaka,
although, in recent days, they've suggested that the decision is ultimately
Tanaka's.
With that said, Rakuten's NPB competitors would surely like nothing more than
to see Tanaka pitching on the other side of the world. After all, this past
season Tanaka, a true uber-ace in Japan, went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA and pitched
the Golden Eagles to the championship. Yes, those numbers are correct.
"We will pay cash to make him go away," is sort of what Olney's report suggests
about Rakuten's competing peers, which is understandable given the breadth of
Tanaka's dominance. In any event, this is what might call "perverse incentives"
when it comes to selling the rights of a player to a non-competing league.
簡單來說，
如果樂天嫌20MM太少，有消息指出，其他日本球隊願意支付費用說服樂天讓
田中開放競標，明年不用再面對他
看到這篇新聞覺得好笑的成分居多 XDDD
