餓死抬頭
According to “industry consensus,” Alex Cobb‘s free agent market will come
down to a battle between the Cubs and Yankees, Peter Gammons writes in his new
est entry at GammonsDaily.com. Chicago’s interest in Cobb (which is apparent
ly mutual) is already known, and such other teams as the Phillies, Orioles, an
d Blue Jays have also been linked to Cobb on the rumor mill, though New York w
ould seem like something of a surprise candidate.
Since Cobb is expected to land a pricey multi-year deal, it would be difficult
for the Yankees to sign the right-hander and stay under the luxury tax thresh
old, unless the team was able to unload another big contract or two off its bo
oks. Starting pitching also doesn’t appear to be a critical need for the Yan
kees, as while a variety of young arms are battling for the fifth starter’s r
ole, signing a more inexpensive veteran (or bringing back C.C. Sabathia) would
seem like a likelier move than making a big splash to sign Cobb.
基本上大意就是說
Cobb本人已經把選擇刪到剩下小熊&我基
小熊對Cobb有興趣已經不是什麼秘密了
而費城人、金鳥、藍鳥也都傳過有興趣
但是洋基顯然就是個比較讓人意外的黑馬
而Cobb本身就被預估會要求一張複數年合約
這對於想把團隊薪資壓在豪華稅下的洋基來說
似乎不是一個太明智的選擇
除非球團想辦法交易掉隊上1～2張大合約
更何況先發投手目前不被視為洋基補強重點
有一堆小朋友正在競爭著5號先發的位置
短約簽下CC似乎是比較合理的選擇
Sevy、馬君、Gray、芒果、...Cobb？
