The Boston Red Sox agreed with Hanley Ramirez on Monday on a four-year, $88
million deal with a vesting fifth year for an additional $22 million,
according to a major league source.
88M/4y+22M/1y
Ramirez, who will turn 31 on Dec. 23, has primarily played shortstop
throughout his 10-year career but has also told teams he would be willing to
change positions.
即將邁入31的小亨利，十年的生涯間都是以SS為主，但他告訴紅襪他願意轉換守備位置
Ramirez was originally projected as a fall-back plan for the Red Sox in the
event they were unable to sign the switch-hitting Pablo Sandoval. Sandoval
reached agreement with the Red Sox on Monday, sources told ESPN, after
choosing among offers from Boston, the San Francisco Giants and San Diego
Padres. All three offers were believed to be for five years and at least $90
million.
小亨利原來是一個紅襪若無法簽下熊貓的備案。熊貓在星期一時與紅襪達成協議，
應該是一筆在五年左右至少90M的合約
Ramirez rejected the Los Angeles Dodgers' $15.3 million qualifying offer
earlier this month to become a free agent. Ramirez won the 2009 batting title
and led the NL with a 1.040 OPS in 2013 (among hitters with at least 300
plate appearances).
小亨利拒絕了躲人的15.3M，選擇投入FA
Ramirez's defense at shortstop has suffered in recent years, which makes it
highly implausible the Red Sox would give up on 22-year-old shortstop Xander
Bogaerts, who is regarded as highly as Ramirez was after he signed with the
Red Sox in 2000, as a teenager in the Dominican Republic.
紅襪應該不會願意放棄XB來守備SS
The Red Sox already have a logjam in the outfield, though, with potential
starters in Yoenis Cespedes, Rusney Castillo, Mookie Betts, Shane Victorino
and even Allen Craig, with Jackie Bradley Jr. potentially in reserve. The
signing of Ramirez to play the outfield would suggest the Red Sox are making
plans to trade an outfielder, with Cespedes, who is a year from free agency,
a leading candidate.
在紅襪壅擠的外野中，簽下小亨利移防外野，可能是想要將外野做一筆交易，
應該有可能是Cespedes
