接下來這新聞可真是令人抓狂... 來自NickP's blog http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/91164 We’ve seen it reported in a couple of places that the Diamondbacks are going to be cutting their payroll and CEO Derrick Hall confirmed it this evening, shortly after the Dan Haren trade was announced. “I think it’s going to decrease,” Hall said. “To what level, I’m not sure. We’re going to do what we need to do. There’s also going to be some pieces that we’re going to have to go out and get like a closer next year. We ’re going to have to spend a little.” The payroll was close to $80 million at the beginning of this season, but that ’s gone down with the approximate $1.8 million they’re saving in this trade and the $1.5 million they saved when they dealt OF Conor Jackson. They’re going to be shedding OF Eric Byrnes ($11 million), RHP Brandon Webb ($8.5 million), RHP Chad Qualls ($4.185 million), RHP Aaron Heilman ($2.15 million) and, most likely, 1B Adam LaRoche ($4.5 million). I’ve got them down for $30 million committed for next year, not counting arbitration raises to C Miguel Montero, SS Stephen Drew, 2B Kelly Johnson and LHP Joe Saunders. I imagine they should be able to find a trading partner if they eat $2 million-$3 million of C Chris Snyder’s $5.75 million contract – either in the coming days or in the off-season -- so that’s a little more they’ll probably save. So with the arbitration raises, dealing Snyder, and the rest of the league-minimum salary players, they’re somewhere in the neighborhood of $55 million-$58 million for 2011, as far as I can tell. (Take that with a grain of salt; that’s sort of my late-night quick-and-dirty guesstimate.) Hall says he envisions the team going after a closer and one other bullpen arm. We’ll see how much they have to spend to get those pieces. == 所以省錢根本就不是這筆交易的主要目的 反正明年會有一堆約到期 重點還是在拿回新秀 至於拿回新秀的好壞 那就見仁見智了... --
