Long-Term Deal for Rodriguez Is a Priority 跟雷殘王簽個長約吧~ By Mike DiGiovanna, Times Staff Writer September 13, 2006 Securing closer Francisco Rodriguez to a long-term contract will be among the Angels' top priorities this off-season after the sides were unable to agree to terms on a multiyear deal last winter. 與closer K-Rod(Francisco Rodriguez，另譯雷殘王)簽個長約是今年天使季後的重 要目標，因為去年勞資雙方並沒有搞定這個合約。 "We've agreed that we will sit down at the end of the season and have some serious conversations," agent Paul Kinzer said, referring to informal talks he has had with General Manager Bill Stoneman. "Frankie has definitely put up the numbers and done his job. He's put himself in a good position contract-wise." 「我們雙方同意今年季末會坐下來認真地討論。」經紀人Paul Kinzer根據他之前與GM 石頭人(Bill Stoneman)的非正式協議如此說。「雷殘仔不僅盡忠職守，而且繳出一張亮 麗的成績單。這對於將來的合約簽訂，是非常有利的。」 Rodriguez, who has a major league-leading 41 saves, a 1.71 earned-run average in 60 appearances and a 29 1/3 -inning scoreless streak, is making $3.775 million this season. 年薪3.775M的K-Rod今年共上場60次，就獲得MLB最多的41次救援成功，1.71的ERA，還有 持續中的29 1/3局沒丟分。 The 24-year-old right-hander probably would double his salary if he goes to a second year of arbitration next winter, and if he follows a remarkable 2006 season with a strong 2007, he would surpass $10 million in arbitration after 2008. K-Rod這位24歲的右投，假如參加明年季後的第二次仲裁，年薪大概會加倍。而如果他 07的表現和本季一樣殺的話，到08年的仲裁後他將會值 10M。 By locking up Rodriguez to a four-year deal or a three-year deal with an option, the Angels would eliminate his last two years of arbitration, secure him through his first two years of free agency and save some money. Negotiations for a three-year deal probably would start in the $24-million range. 如果天使能和他簽下四年約或附加option的三年約，就可以避免06和07的仲裁，並且讓 他FA的最初兩年留在天使，還可以省點錢。三年合約的談判價碼約從24M起跳。 If the Angels don't secure Rodriguez to a long-term deal, they'll risk losing him as a free agent after 2008. And there already is speculation that the big-spending New York Yankees are eyeing Rodriguez as a replacement for Mariano Rivera, who is 36. 若是天使不能用一個長約抓住K-Rod，他就有可能在2008成為FA後琵琶別抱。而且據推測， 揮金如土的帝國隊已經對於雷殘仔虎視眈眈，準備用他來替代現年36歲的MO (Mariano Rivera)。 "It's the dream of every young player to sign a multiyear deal," Rodriguez said. "I would love to stay here for a long time. I would love to finish my career here. But sometimes, you understand it's a business." 「每位年輕球員都夢想能夠簽下複數年合約。」K-Rod說「我很喜歡長久留在這裡， 也非常希望在天使結束我的棒球生涯；可是有時我們必須得在商言商。」 --
