AP的报导 http://tinyurl.com/n5ds3df Jeter deal leaves Yanks about $80M before tax By RONALD BLUM (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) -- Derek Jeter's new contract has increased the Yankees' luxury tax payroll to $97.71 million for seven signed players next year. That leaves New York with about $80 million to spend on the rest of its roster if the team wants to get under the 2014 tax threshold. 队长新合约让洋基已确定的payroll增加到97.71M，如果洋基不想缴豪华税，那麽他们 只剩约80M的薪资空间。 Jeter and New York agreed Friday to a $12 million, one-year contract. Major League Baseball determined its value for purposes of the luxury tax is $12.81 million. 队长新约是一年12M，而在豪华税计算时，其合约价值为12.81M。 The Yankees' captain, injured for most of this year, was playing under a three-year contract with a player option for 2014 that wound up being worth $9.5 million and was replaced by the new salary. 今年是队长之前签下的3+1合约的第三年，不过几乎都在养伤。第四年本来是9.5M的球员选 择权，不过已经被新约取代。 Baseball's luxury tax uses the average annual values of contracts as defined by the sport's collective bargaining agreement. Determining Jeter's payroll figure for the tax is complicated by the option and the new salary, and New York may contest his 2014 evaluation. 根据CBA，计算豪华税时用的是合约年平均金额，而现在队长合约到底要怎麽算，因为又有 球员选择权又有新约，变得很复杂，2014年洋基也许会对豪华税的计算有所异议。 The Yankees want to re-sign free agents Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda, and need to fill roster holes after missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years. The team figures to be interested in free-agent pitchers and catcher Brian McCann. 在19年来第二次与playoff无缘之後，洋基想留住Cano，Granderson 跟黑田，也需要添加战 力上不足的部份。他们据说想从FA找些投手，也听说对Brian McCann有兴趣。 Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner has said getting under the $189 million tax threshold for 2014 is a hope but is not essential. Hal Steinbrenner表示球队仍然希望维持payroll在189M以下避免缴交豪华税，但也不是真 的一定不能缴。 ''It's a goal that we have if it's possible,'' general manager Brian Cashman said last month. ''There's a lot of benefits to staying under that, but it's not a mandate if it's at the expense of a championship run. It just depends on what the opportunities are before us, and the costs associated with it.'' Cashman上个月表示：「如果有办法，自然希望可以不缴税，不缴税有很多好处的，但如果 这是为了竞争冠军必要的支出，我们也不会这麽死板板。一切都看未来有什麽机会降临，以 及关於这些机会的价值多寡。」 New York's other signed players are Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million), CC Sabathia ($24.4 million), Mark Teixeira ($22.5 million), Ichiro Suzuki ($6.5 million), Alfonso Soriano ($4 million) and Vernon Wells ($0). 洋基有约球员如下：Alex Rodriguez ($27.5M) , CC Sabathia ($24.4M), Mark Teixeira ($22.5M), Ichiro Suzuki ($6.5M), Alfonso Soriano ($4M) and Vernon Wells ($0)。 The impacts of Soriano and Wells on New York's luxury tax payroll were reduced because of cash being paid by their former clubs attributable to 2014. The Yankees will receive $18.6 million from the Los Angeles Angels as part of the acquisition of Wells last March and $13 million from the Chicago Cubs as a result of July's deal for Soriano. Soriano跟Wells的合约价值对洋基豪华税影响降低是因为他俩的前东家会帮忙付薪水。天使 会帮忙买单Wells的$18.6M，小熊则会负担Soriano的$13M。 Rodriguez's payroll impact for 2014 would drop to $2.5 million if arbitrator Fredric Horowitz upholds a 211-game suspension imposed on the third baseman by MLB for alleged violations of the sport's drug agreement and labor contract. Rodriguez, who is contesting the discipline, has a $25 million salary for next year, and the Yankees would not have to pay him for any period he is suspended. 要是仲裁结果认定A-Rod应该要为了触犯禁药规定而禁赛211场，2014年他的合约就只算2.5M ，这是因为虽然A-Rod明年薪资是25M，但如果他被禁赛，禁赛期洋基是不用付薪水给他的。 Payrolls for the luxury tax include the entire 40-man roster and a 1-30th portion of the cost of benefits and extended benefits for all major leaguers. That category totals items such as health insurance premiums, pension payments, club medical costs and payroll, unemployment and Social Security taxes. 40人名单内的球员合约、所有球员之保险费与额外津贴(如健康保险费，退休金提拨，球队 的医疗费用和支出，失业和社会安全税等)都应该纳入豪华税计算。 The 2013 figure will not be completed until next month. For 2012, each team's payroll was assessed $10,779,500. 2013年还没完，不过2012年平均payroll是$10,779,500。 New York has paid luxury tax for every season since the provision was put in place for 2003, a total of $224.56 million. The Yankees will pay again for 2013, when the threshold was $178 million. 自2003年开徵豪华税以来，洋基没有一年没付的，一共付了$224.56M。2013年洋基应该也超 过豪华税门槛$178M。 But there are large benefits if the Yankees get under the threshold in 2014. The team's tax rate would drop from its current 50 percent to 17.5 percent in 2015, and New York would be eligible to get back a portion of its revenue-sharing payments. 但2014年要是洋基不需要付豪华税，可以得到很大的利益，因为这样的话，2015年税率可以 从50%降低至17.5%，而且北佬还可以从revenue-sharing回收一部分税金回来。 --
