SUNDAY: Snell’s renewal is official, Topkin tweets. He commented on the team
’s decision (via Topkin), saying: “The Rays have the right under the
collective bargaining agreement to renew me at or near the league-minimum
salary. They also have the ability to to more adequately compensate me, as
other organizations have done with players who have similar achievements to
mine. The Rays chose the former. I will have no further comment and look
forward to competing with my teammates and field staff in our quest to win
the World Series in 2019.”
FRIDAY: The Rays intend to stick to their pre-arb salary formula with regard
to lefty Blake Snell, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. It is
anticipated that the team will renew Snell’s contract at the price of just
$573,700.
Plenty of young major leaguers are playing at similar rates of pay, to be
sure. The minimum salary sits at $555K and most organizations stay close to
it, typically handing out increases measured in the thousands or tens of
thousands based upon service time and certain performance standards.
The collective bargaining agreement allows teams to pay pre-arb players
whatever it likes, so long as they earn at that floor level. Snell, though,
needn’t agree to the salary he’s allotted. And indications are he won’t,
preferring instead to make a symbolic protest.
The southpaw says it’s “disappointing” that he wasn’t rewarded with a
bigger increase after wrapping up a stellar season in which he walked off
with the American League Cy Young Award. He was anything but vitriolic toward
the Tampa Bay organization, but left no doubt that he’ll also be taking a
businesslike approach in his future dealings with the club.
Given his immense achievement, it’s not surprising that Snell would feel a
bit slighted. It’s true, as Topkin notes, that renewals aren’t terribly
uncommon for players who’ve turned in big seasons. But the examples he cites
also highlight just how stingy the Rays’ formula is. Josh Hader declined to
agree to the $687,600 salary that the Brewers’ own spreadsheets spit out.
Mookie Betts wouldn’t put his signature on a $950K payday after a season in
which he placed second in the MVP voting. The same thing happened last spring
with Carlos Correa, who was renewed at a cool $1MM.
It is understandable enough that the Rays wish to maintain discipline, as
Topkin explains, and are wary of allowing “an exception” to make it
impossible to “draw, and hold, the line” in future situations. Of course,
the team set its formula by fiat and can modify it at will to incorporate
whatever inputs it wishes. No doubt the data-savvy organization could imagine
a way to reward truly exemplary performance without opening the door to
otherwise unwanted expenses. A well-crafted incentive structure might even
make good financial sense, though the Rays have surely thought that through
already.
With some prior extension chatter having failed to gain traction, Topkin
writes, the expectation now is that the sides will go year to year in the
arbitration process. Snell will hope to follow Betts in making his employer
pay up through his three arb years:
“Hopefully this pushes me. Arbitration will be the business side, and that’
s what I’ll tell them. I think fair is fair. It all comes around in the end
anyway. At the end of the day, you get what you put in. I’ll be motivated.”

subject.

5. 備註:
(1) 新科光芒賽揚得主Blake Snell本季薪水為$573,700,聯盟規定的最低薪資為$555K。
(2) Blake Snell藉Marc Tokin表示:「光芒有權在勞資協商後,更新合約或給我接近聯盟
標準的最低薪水,他們也有能力充分地補償我,如其他球團對那些與我有相似成就球員做
的那樣,而光芒選擇了前者。我沒有進一步的評論,期待與我的隊友和現場工作人員一同
努力,贏得2019年的世界大賽冠軍。」
(3) 報導提供其他球員的例子,Marc Tokin表示這也能看出光芒的公式多小氣了。
A. Josh Hader婉拒釀酒人提供$687,600的薪資單。
B. Mookie Betts沒有在紅襪隊提供$950K的薪資單上簽字,在2016年奪下MVP-2後。
C. Carlos Correa在去年也同樣沒有在太空人提供$1MM的薪資單上簽字。
(4) Marc Topkin表示:「可以理解光芒隊想要維持規則,對例外案例有所考量,並為未來
劃清規則,球隊藉由規則設定薪資計算公式,並可以更改成他們想要的結果。毫無疑問地
,精明的球隊可以設想獎勵有精彩表現的球員,而不會有額外不需要的開支。一個精心設
計的激勵結構甚至具有良好的財務意義,光芒已確實考慮過了。」
(5) 根據Marc Tokin的消息指出,鑒於之前雙方未能達成延長合約,目前兩方便以年復一
年的仲裁方式走下去,而Snell希望能跟隨著Betts一樣在三個仲裁年獲得期望的薪水。
Blake Snell:「希望這會激勵我往前進,仲裁將是商業導向,這就是我要告訴他們的。
我認為公平是合理的。無論如何這一切都將到來。要怎麼收穫先怎麼栽。我將會有動力
走下去。」
(6) Blake Snell去年在光芒隊奪得賽揚獎的成績表現(今年26歲;去年薪水:$545K):
