[情報] Buster Posey保證：巨人要大撒幣

By USA TODAY Bob Nightengale

While Giants minority owner Buster Posey met privately with third baseman Matt Chapman the day before signing his six-year, $151 million contract, it had little to do with contract negotiations but everything to do about answering Chapman’s questions about the future of the franchise.

Buster Posey 並沒有參與Matt Chapman實際談約

但在簽約前一天有去和Matt Chapman聊球隊的未來

Posey assured him that the Giants plan to spend, and spend big, turning the organization around as quickly as possible.

Posey向Matt Chapman保證

巨人會花大錢組建陣容，將球隊情況能儘速翻轉

The only contractual issues that were unresolved before Posey’s involvement was agreeing to give Chapman a complete no-trade clause and compromising on a $1 million signing bonus. Chapman was originally seeking a $2 million signing bonus since he had a $2 million buyout in his original three-year, $80 million deal with a buyout.

談約過程中的癥結點是在

1.不可交易條款

2.簽約金

最終巨人妥協給1M簽約金

原本 Chapman是要求2M，也就是原本逃脫能拿到的買斷金

If the San Francisco Giants dismiss Farhan Zaidi, president of baseball operations, at the season’s conclusion, look for them to reach out to former Miami Marlins GM Kim Ng and Minnesota Twins GM Thad Levine as potential replacements. TheGiants have missed the postseason in all but two years since winning the 2014 World Series.

另外如果巨人決定炒掉Farhan Zaidi

那他們可能會去接觸馬大魚前GM Kim Ng

以及雙城GM Thad Levine

巨人在2014奪冠後，只打過兩次季後賽
