Yu Darvish, via Twitter, has indicated six teams are pursuing him in free agen
cy, and Brian Cashman has copped that the Yankees remain among the interested.
前陣子達比修在推特上大嘴巴，宣布有六隊正在FA市場上追逐自己。而現今人也親口證實
他們對達比是有興趣的。
But it would take creativity for the Yankees to sign Darvish and even with the
below plan, they still might have to find a way to offload a piece of Jacoby
Ellsbury’s contract or deal David Robertson as a way to stay below the $197 m
illion luxury-tax threshold.
但是要想將達比延攬入隊，這似乎需要那麼點的「創意」。即便達比真的到來，洋基還是
要想辦法清楚Ells的合約或是交易蘿蔔，以達到低於豪華稅的目標。
The question is: How can Darvish get what he wants while the Yankees keep the
average annual value (the number used for luxury-tax purposes) down?
現在的問題在於：要如何讓達比得到想要的合約，同時讓洋基的團隊薪資壓在197MM之下
呢？
We have to begin with a few suppositions, namely that Darvish has yet to hear
the terms he wants or hear them from a team to which he wants to go, or else w
hy would he still be unsigned three weeks into the new year? The general expec
tation was that he would get $25 million-ish annually for six years when this
offseason began.
首先要清楚的是，達比顯然還未從他想要去的球隊得到令他滿意的報價，否則怎麼可能都
已經進入2018好一陣子了他還是個FA呢？一般合理預估他應該會拿到年薪25M左右長度6年
的合約。
My concept would be to offer Darvish a six-year, $120 million deal that is str
uctured this way: $30 million in each of the first two seasons, $20 million in
the middle two and $10 million in the final two, with Darvish having opt-outs
after Years 2 and 4.
我個人（Joel Sherman）的看法是給達比修一份6年120M的合約，並且合約內容如下：前
兩年30M/y；第三第四年20M/y；最後兩年10M/y；並且在合約第二以及第四年附帶球員選
擇權。
Darvish has $120 million guaranteed. If he is healthy and pitching well, he ca
n opt out after two years in which he averaged $30 million a season or four ye
ars in which he averaged $25 million.
這樣一來達比就有120M的保障薪資。如果他能夠保持健康而且投得很好的話，他可以選擇
在兩年之後跳出合約，如此一來他的合約就是30M/y。或是選擇在第四年之後跳出，那麼
合約就是25M/y。（但是在計算團隊薪資的時候還是以20M/y來計算）
不得不說這個合約很有創意......
總覺得有點怪
又說不上來是哪裡怪......
但是看起來好像也蠻可以接受的
大家覺得這合約內容怎麼樣？？
