The Nationals have spent more on this team than ever. Could they add more? http://goo.gl/Y6DH7w By Chelsea Janes August 3 Deadline-day addition Brandon Kintzler joined the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night in Miami, just in time to help against the defending World Series champion Cubs in Chicago this weekend. The Nationals added four key pieces by the deadline, all of whom have made a dramatic impact in their short tenures. Could they still add more? 大限當日在邁阿密打球的華盛頓國民補進Brandon Kintzler，剛好趕上週末對戰WS衛冕軍芝加哥小熊；大限截止前國民追加四名關鍵球員，短短幾天內這四名球員已經帶來戲劇性衝擊。國民仍有補強的可能嗎？ The Nationals have a history of making deals after the nonwaiver trade deadline — despite the waivers hurdle. After July 31, players can only be traded if their team places them on revocable waivers. If a team claims that player, his original team can pull him back, let the team take him and absorb his contract or work out a deal. Last season, the Nationals claimed reliever Marc Rzepczynski, then traded a prospect to the Athletics to get him. The left-hander made their playoff roster last season. Deals can still get done, and they can matter. 儘管有讓渡名單的阻礙，國民過去也曾在大限後進行數次交易。大限後，球員只有在母隊將他們放進可撤回的讓渡名單後才能被交易。假使有球隊要人，母隊也可把人抽回來、讓別隊把人連同合約一起吸收或者談交易。上個球季，國民claim左手牛Marc Rzepczynski ，然後送一個新秀去運動家完成換人。Rzepczynski 後來也進入季後賽名單。交易還是能做，而且可以很有意義。 Under Mike Rizzo, the Nationals have acquired relievers this way more than once. Before Rzepczynski, they got another veteran lefty, Matt Thornton, who pitched for them in the 2014 playoffs. While former all-stars such as Justin Verlander, Justin Upton and Jose Bautista could all be dealt on waivers this season — their salaries are high enough that no team would likely grab them outside a trade — the Nationals have no history of acquiring big stars at this time of year. Provided Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg are both okay, they should not need to. Given that Jayson Werth and Trea Turner seem to be nearing returns, the Nationals’ roster could be nearly set, with no more outside help to come. 在光頭領軍下國民靠這種方式帶來不只一頭牛。在Rzepczynski 之前他們就已經拿到過左手牛老將Matt Thornton ，也在同年進入季後賽為國民投球。今年雖然前像V中年、J-Upton或包爺這樣的前全明星都能透過讓渡名單交易，但他們的薪水高到沒有球隊會願意透過用交易以外的方式挖人。國民過去也沒有在這個時間點找來大星星的歷史。假如Scherzer跟小史都OK，他們應該也不需要找大星星支援。加上Werth跟TT接近歸隊，國民的roster差不多可以底定，不會有更多外援加入。 After their deadline moves, the Nationals have spent as much as they ever have on their roster, around $170 million in payroll, according to Cot’s Baseball Contracts (which has yet to be updated to include their deadline acquisitions — about $7 million in prorated salary). Last year’s end-of-year payroll, their highest ever, sat at $170 million. 大限日過後，根據Cot's Baseball Contract 國民花了幾乎是隊史最高payroll的170M（網站還沒更新幾筆交易過後國民需要負擔約7M 的薪資）。去年結算，國民就已經達到隊史紀錄170M了。 For the first time in their history, the Nationals are past the collective bargaining tax threshold ($195 million), in which payroll is calculated using the average annual value of contracts and includes an approximate $13 million for player benefits. Because they are first-time offenders, this will cost them 20 percent of their overage. That the Nationals are over the threshold at all signals unprecedented spending and likely means they will not be able to shoulder the kind of massive contracts that get traded this time of year, even if they did have interest. 國民將首次超越豪華稅門檻（195M）。豪華稅的計算方式是球員合約中的平均年薪加總，包含約13M 的球員津貼。鑒於國民是初犯，只需要繳交超出部分的20趴即可。所有訊號都顯示史無前例花很兇的國民今年已經沒有餘力在這個時間點多負擔一張大約，即使他們有興趣。 So, barring injury and subsequent unexpected acquisitions, the roster likely is what it will be by the time October rolls around. Assuming the long list of injured Nationals returns — a phrase repeated often this season — what exactly do they have? 那麼，除了因為又出現傷兵與接著連帶無法被預期的交易之外，十月份時roster大概就是現在這個樣子了。假設一長串傷兵歸隊，這句話今年已經不知道重複幾次了，他們到底有什麼？ They would have a starting lineup of, from left to right, Jayson Werth, Michael A. Taylor and Bryce Harper in the outfield. They have Anthony Rendon, Trea Turner, Daniel Murphy and Ryan Zimmerman in the infield, with Matt Wieters catching. They would have a bench of Jose Lobaton, Stephen Drew, Howie Kendrick, Adam Lind and likely Brian Goodwin or Wilmer Difo. 他們的先發打線從左外野到右外野分別是Werth，Taylor，Harper；內野從三壘到一壘是Rendon，TT，山羊，Zim；Wieters蹲捕。板凳上則有Lobaton，Drew，Kendrick，Lind，以及好贏或Difo。 Knock on wood if you must, but they would also have a playoff rotation of Scherzer, Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Tanner Roark, with Edwin Jackson as a fifth starter and Erick Fedde filling in along the way. And their revamped bullpen — assuming eight relievers in October — could consist of Sean Doolittle, Ryan Madson, Brandon Kintzler, Shawn Kelley, Joe Blanton, Matt Albers, Enny Romero (who left Wednesday night’s game with a forearm strain) and Oliver Perez. If Koda Glover returns, the Nationals could have a numbers problem. Matt Grace and Sammy Solis also could be left out. The Nationals would have the luxury of bullpen experience. 如果你一定得祈求安心，那麼他們也能排出Shcerzer，小史，Gio， Roark這樣的季後賽輪值。E-Jax擔任五號，Fedde也曾登板頂替傷兵。而他們補強過的牛棚，假使屆時要帶八隻牛進十月，可能將包含怪醫，Madson，Kintzler，Kelley，Blanton，Albers，Romero（週三晚上因前臂疼痛退場）與OP。如果Glover回歸，國民會有些問題得面對。也別忘記Grace跟Solis。球隊將擁有很奢華的牛棚成員。 Assuming everyone is healthy, and that is a risky and major assumption, the Nationals have plenty of firepower now, a more-adept bullpen and are dripping with experience. Having already spent more on this team than any team prior, the Nationals seem unlikely to add much in the post-deadline days. But they have found key pieces at this time before and could do so again. 大家都健康的話，當然這麼想有風險且太自大；國民目前已經軍容壯盛，加上更加精進過的牛棚與更豐富的經驗。目前球團已比以往任何一年都花掉更多錢，似乎不會在大限日後追加更多投資。但他們之前也曾在這個時間點找到關鍵拼圖，當然也可能再做一次。 ─────────────────────────────────────── 這篇雖然是在寫國民可能已經沒有餘力再吃下另一張合約，但重點其實是在隊史首度超越豪華稅啊！這表示老是被懷疑不知道該把錢往哪裡砸的老闆終於肯花錢投資牛棚啦！另外關於實質payroll與用於計算豪華稅的payroll有啥區別這篇講得沒很清楚。實質payroll代表今年球團要實際從金庫撥出去的錢，像Scherzer今年約22M、Werth超過21M、Zim有14M，跟其他球員全部加一加後國民今年要實付170M左右（還沒加新同學）。但計算豪華稅時複數年合約一定要用年均的方式統計。也就是說7y/210M的Scherzer就必須算30M，這是比他實際能領到的多；但Werth的7y/126M年均就只有18M，比他今年能實際領到的21M少。小史的年均25M也比今年他能領到的多。用這種方式統計過後國民的payroll就會跨過195M，文內所說的超過豪華稅門檻就是這個意思。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.32.124.186 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Nationals/M.1502504951.A.EEA.html
