大都會被批對旗下小聯盟球員太摳
Why is baseball’s richest owner squeezing his minor leaguers for pocket change?

節錄幾段出來
這篇根據Advocates for Minor [email protected]的推文
把費城人拿來當對照組

The Mets and the Phillies are about to wrap up their weekend series. Between the
two teams, who would you rather play for?

The Phillies fully cover the team hotel for players in High-A Jersey Shore while
providing a housing stipend at other levels of the system and an out-of-season
salary for players at extended spring training before the Florida Complex League
starts. The Mets do none of that, as the organization Advocates for Minor Leagu
ers pointed out over the weekend.
費城人全額支付高階1A球員的飯店住宿費
而其他層級也都有居住津貼
此外延長春訓也都有支付薪水(等待新人聯盟開季)
反觀大都會則全數沒補助+延長春訓不支薪
A Mets source said that while players in High-A Brooklyn are charged $300 a mont
h for the team hotel, the two-person rooms cost $100 per night.
以梅子高階1A布魯克林旋風(Brooklyn Cyclones)的球員為例
消息指出，他們每個月須支付300美金的飯店錢
Harry Marino, a minor leaguer-turned-lawyer who runs Advocates for Minor Leaguer
s, estimated that the hotel deduction was a sixth of players’ post-tax salary,
and that Cohen’s Mets could simply make the hotel free for a cost of about an a
dditional $50,000 annually. A major league club spends more than that on laundry
in a season
這佔了球員稅後薪水的1/6
但其實Steve Cohen若幫他們付這筆錢
每年也只需增加5萬美金的支出
這數字比大聯盟花的洗衣費還少XD
“The Mets only charge the Brooklyn players $10 per day to stay in the team hote
l, demonstrating an understanding that no player can afford the actual cost of t
he room on his paltry salary,”
每月300美金，相當於每日10美
這也表示以球員的薪水根本付不起實際的住宿錢
(這邊應該是指大都會其實也少收錢惹XD)
Speaking of laundry, the Mets do cover that cost for players at extended spring
training, for what that’s worth. The Mets also pay players at all levels at lea
st $100 a month more than the new baseball-wide minimums, the team source said.
But those minimums are positively puny: $500 a week at Class A, $600 at Double-A
, $700 at Triple-A, and only during the season.
但說到洗衣，梅子倒是會幫延長春訓球員付這筆錢
然後所有層級每月薪水也比最低規定高至少100美金
1A:每週500美金
2A:每週600美金
3A:每週700美金
但一樣只有球季中才支付
最後這篇新聞的結語
“The Mets have the richest owner in all of baseball. ... That they send players
to the most expensive city in the country, pay them less than $10,000 a year af
ter taxes, and then charge them a nominal fee to stay in the team hotel, is insu
lting.
梅子擁有全大聯盟最有錢的老闆
它們將旗下小聯盟球員放在最貴的城市裡(剛看小聯盟主場多半在紐約附近XD)
但卻只支付每年稅後不到1萬美的薪水
然後入住飯店，還要每天象徵式收個10美金
It doesn’t matter if this is how it’s always been done. New ownership promised
better, and this is not better,” Marino said. “Mets fans and players deserve
more.”
以前是不是都這樣做不重要
因為新的老闆承諾會弄更好，但實際上沒有
梅子粉絲、球員值得比現在更多的
註: Steve Cohen買下球隊時，有說過會重建好梅子的農場
As Steve Cohen took over the Mets, he repeatedly emphasized his desire to rebuil
d the Mets’ depleted farm system. When he called the Dodgers a model franchise,
he didn’t cite their blockbuster spending; he said he admired their “really s
trong farm system.”
