[情報] 梅子明年將清出173M薪資空間

https://reurl.cc/A2Xry3

Only Verlander projects to have any real money paid to him next year as a player no longer on the team. Starting in 2025 there will be nothing else owed to (deep breath): Omar Narvaez, Adrian Houser, Fujinami, Wendle, Lopez, Tomas Nido, Joey Lucchesi, Phil Bickford, Julio Teheran, Diekman, Scherzer, James McCann, Darin Ruf and Michael Tonkin. Meanwhile, Manaea, Severino, Raley, Bader, Martinez, Ottavino, Pete Alonso, Jose Quintana, Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek, Jesse Winker and Smith have contracts expiring or options unlikely to be picked up.

If you add all those figures up, the Mets have just over $173 million coming off the books in expiring contracts and dead money from the $358 million CBT payroll figure, or almost exactly half the money paid this year from the biggest payroll in baseball. For context, $173 million would be the 14th-highest payroll in the sport.

梅子今年球季結束將清出173M的薪資空間

等於團隊薪資直接砍半(385M)

The Mets are set up to do, well, just about anything they want this winter.

With all of the young talent headed to the big league roster next year plus so much freed up money (as a bonus, some of those young players were acquired in trades that moved some of the dead money), the Mets are in a fascinating position to make bold moves this winter, coming off an ahead-of-schedule likely 2024 playoff run.

Now, I wouldn't just assume the payroll will stay the same as it has been, and I don't expect the Mets to change their strategy of limiting long-term deals to older players. But we can play out some in-character decisions for Stearns and Cohen to see where potential moves would put the payroll.

The Mets have a locked-in core of Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, Brandon Nimmo and Vientos, along with Senga in the rotation and Diaz in the bullpen. Thesupporting cast includes Jeff McNeil, Starling Marte, Tyrone Taylor, Megill andDavid Peterson, along with the prospects who will either start the season in the big leagues or be ready to come up at some point in 2025.

Let's assume in the rosiest situation the Mets bring back Alonso for $25 million per year and land the prize of the offseason in Juan Soto (and that Soto's CBTfigure is the very round number of $50 million per year). The buzz is the Soto sweepstakes will primarily be between the two New York teams, and he fits the Mets' offseason needs almost perfectly.

假設用均薪2500萬續約Alonso、5000萬搶下Juan Soto

Those two moves would put the 2025 payroll at roughly $255 million ($80 millionless than the current payroll) with five spots left to fill and a roster that looks like this:

那團隊薪資還是比今年少8000萬呢
