– The Chicago Cubs say they have no intention to offer starter Marcus Stroman a
contract extension after the season, and now wonder if Stroman will opt out of
his contract, after all. He is sidelined with fractured cartilage in his right r
ib cage and may not return this season. He is owed $21 million in 2024 in the fi
nal year of his three-year, $71 million contract
小熊隊無意在季末向Marcus Stroman 提供延長合約
所以就是你想留就留（執行$21M的PO)
想走我也不留的概念
– The Cardinals will pursue at least three starting pitchers in trades and free
agency, president John Mozeliak said, with Julio Urias of the Dodgers, Blake Sn
ell of the Padres and Aaron Nola of the Phillies sitting atop their wish list.
紅雀總裁J-MO表示休賽期將透過交易/自由市場

Even if Texas Rangers All-Star shortstop Corey Seager doesn’t finish with enoug
h plate appearances to qualify for the American League batting title, he can sti
ll win the title, thanks to Rule 9.22 (a) of the MLB handbook.
If a player falls short of the 502 plate appearances, it can add theoretic hitle
ss at-bats to the total. It’s why Tony Gwynn won the 1996 batting title with 49
8 plate appearances when he hit .353. If they added four more hitless at-bats, e
ven a .349 batting average would have won the batting title.
This year, Seager is hitting .347 over 357 plate appearances, 25 points ahead of
anyone else in the American League.
話說如果條子的Seager最終沒打到規定打數
他依然可以競爭打擊王
依照規則可以把不足的打數全部當成無安打
1996年的Tony Gwynn就是靠這規則拿下打擊王的
