MLB’s collective bargaining agreement expires December 1, and both MLB
commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA head Tony Clark have expressed optimism
that two parties can avoid a work stoppage. While Manfred had previously said
he hoped to have a new deal in place by the end of the postseason, though,
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that he hears there is still work
to be done, even on the day of what could be the clinching game of the World
Series.
大聯盟的集體談判協議 (collective bargaining agreement, CBA) 將於今年12月1日到
期，勞資雙方接樂觀表示新版的CBA能夠順利完成。然而大聯盟主席Rob Manfred 曾經表
示，他希望在世界大賽結束時就能有一份新版的協議，而根據紐約郵報 (New York
Post) 記者Joel Sherman的報導，新版的協議正在如火如荼的展開，即便到新的世界大賽
冠軍出來，仍還有可能無法完成。
It is possible, Sherman writes, that rules from the previous CBA could be “
rolled over for at least this offseason.” A rollover of the current rules
could potentially keep this winter’s free agent market from stalling by
allowing free agents to negotiate with teams without either party worrying
about how a new agreement might affect them.
Sherman表示當前CBA的規則可能至少延續到今年的休賽期。延用當前CBA的規則可以使今
年冬天的自由市場可以順利進行， 使自由球員與球團能夠安心的洽談簽約。
Sherman notes that the two sides have batted around a number of possible
changes to the qualifying offer system. One possibility is that MLB could
agree to stop taking draft picks from teams that sign free agents who have
rejected qualifying offers. (As we’ve seen in the cases of Kyle Lohse,
Stephen Drew, Ian Desmond and others in recent years, these draft pick losses
reduce free agents’ value, which is why the MLBPA would want to change the
current rules.)
Sherman 另外指出勞資雙方可能針對合格報價系統(qualifying offer system)的內容進
行攻防。其中一種可能是大聯盟將會取消選秀補償權 (例如: Kyle Lohse, Stephen
Drew, Ian Desmond等之前的狀況，球員工會認為選秀補償權將會影響自由球員的價值。)
Sherman writes that, under the changes being considered, teams losing good
free agents would still receive compensation. It remains to be seen what form
that compensation would take, although it’s worth noting that, under the
previous system, a team that offered a Type B free agent arbitration before
his departure received a draft pick, without the signing team having to give
up anything. Perhaps MLB and the MLBPA will consider reinstituting a similar
system for a certain class of free agents.
Sherman寫道，在爭議還未落幕前，那些損失優良自由球員的球隊還是可以獲得補償選秀
，只是要以何種形式進行補償就有待討論了，值得注意的是，在更之前的協議中，若原球
團在Type B球員離去前提出薪資仲裁將會獲得一個選秀權，而簽約的球團並不需要放棄任
何選秀權。或許大聯盟官方跟球員工會將會朝著恢復類似的機制以制定新版的CBA。
