: Rodriguez Is Bargain for Yankees at $23 Million, Economist Says
: By Danielle Sessa
經濟學家觀點:年薪兩千三百萬的A-Rod對洋基是物超所值
: May 2 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, whose $252 million
: contract is the biggest in baseball history, generates more than twice his
: $23 million annual salary for the team, according to an economist who has
: advised franchises on players' value.
一位替球隊分析球員價值的經濟學家表示,紐約洋基隊的A-Rod(合約總額兩億五千兩
百萬,年薪兩千三百萬,棒球史上最鉅)替洋基帶來的經濟價值為其合約的兩倍。
: The Yankees earn almost $47 million a year in revenue based on the games
: Rodriguez wins for the club, said Stephen Walters, an economics professor at
: Loyola College in Maryland. Rodriguez, a two-time American League Most
: Valuable Player, is an even bigger bargain because New York is responsible
: for only $16 million of his salary this season. His former team, the Texas
: Rangers, is paying the rest as part of the trade that brought him to the
: Yankees in 2004.
馬里蘭州Loyola College的經濟學教授Stephen Walters表示,A-Rod為洋基贏得的比賽
所帶來的收益差不多是一年四千七百萬。兩度獲得美聯最有價值球員的A-Rod對洋基來
說其實還更划算,因為今年洋基隊只要付他年薪裡面的一千六百萬。A-Rod的老東家
遊騎兵則需依照2004年與洋基交易的規定,負責A-Rod年薪其餘的部分。
: ``Even as rich as his contract appears to be, he's probably a pretty good
: investment for the Yankees,'' said Walters, whose clients have included the
: Boston Red Sox.
Walters旗下的顧客還包括了洋基死對頭紅襪。他說:「雖然A-Rod合約數字看來很驚人
他對洋基來說還是一項蠻不錯的投資。」
: While New York has sunk to last place in the American League East with a
: 10-14 record, Rodriguez is off to the best start in his 14-year career. The
: 31-year-old third baseman hit a record-tying 14 home runs in April.
: Rodriguez has the option to cancel the final three years and $81 million of
: his contract after the season to sign with the highest bidder.
: Rodriguez's Wins
雖然洋基目前戰績10勝14敗,在美聯東區墊底。A-Rod卻打出了職業生涯迄今最好的開
季表現。這位31歲的三壘手在四月擊出了平記錄的14支全壘打。
本季結束後,A-Rod可以選擇逃脫條款,帶著剩餘三年、八千一百萬的合約待價而沽。
: The Yankees win 10 more games a season with Rodriguez, based on Walters's
: projections. Each victory results in $4.66 million in additional revenue,
: including ticket and merchandise sales and higher prices for sponsorships and
: commercials on the team's Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network.
根據Walters的估算,因為有了A-Rod,洋基一年得以多贏10場。每場附有四百六十六萬
額外收益,包括了門票、周邊商品、以及洋基娛樂&運動網絡的更高價贊助和廣告收入
: Even after deducting the Yankees' payments into baseball's revenue-sharing
: plan -- where money from wealthy clubs is given to lower-revenue teams to try
: to keep them competitive -- Rodriguez still is producing about $31 million
: this season.
即便扣掉洋基贊助給收入共享計畫的金錢(也就是富裕的球隊必須分配收益給收入低的
球隊,以維持弱隊一定的競爭力),A-Rod今年仍然有三千一百萬左右的產出價值。
: Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, declined to discuss whether the money his
: client brings the Yankees would become part of negotiations for a new
: contract.
A-Rod的經紀人 Boras對A-Rod是否會將他對洋基的收益貢獻當作談判新合約的籌碼
一事拒絕評論。
: ``The value of players is something that we keep internally and talk about
: with the teams,'' said Boras, who is based in Newport Beach, California. ``We
: really don't discuss that publicly.''
「球員的價值這種事我們只會跟球團談,不會對外談論。」Boras說。
: As part of the agreement Boras negotiated, Rodriguez has another $4 million
: for this season deferred.
在Boras談的協議中,A-Rod這季還有四百萬的遞延收益。
: Rodriguez said as recently as April 24 that he has no plans to leave New
: York.
四月24日A-Rod才說過他沒有離開紐約的打算。
: Hot April
: This season, he's batting .371 and has already won two games for the Yankees
: in the club's last at-bat with a grand slam against Baltimore and a three-run
: homer versus Cleveland.
A-Rod本季打擊率.371。已經有兩次(對金鶯和印地安人)替球隊轟出再見全壘打獲勝。
: ``You are seeing the ability he's always had and the ability that everyone
: has always looked for,'' said Hall-of-Fame outfielder Reggie Jackson, an
: adviser to the Yankees. ``You are going to be able to sit back and enjoy and
: watch him in awe.''
Reggie Jackson:「你正在目睹A-Rod展現他與生俱來、人人欽羨、追尋的天賦。」
「你可以準備好整以暇觀賞A-Rod接下來的超人表現。」
: Yankees fans may want to do that now, because he'll cease being a bargain for
: the team if he seeks a new contract, said Walters, who has an office at
: Loyola's Baltimore campus. The Rangers wouldn't be obligated to pay his
: future salary, wiping out the Yankees' profit.
洋基球迷當然希望現在就看到A-Rod大爆發。而且如果他又要簽新約的話,他可能就會
變得不是那麼物超所值。Walters表示。 而且遊騎兵對他的新約沒有分攤的義務,如此
一來洋基收益就會降低。
: New York, whose $190 million payroll is the highest in Major League Baseball,
: also has to analyze how Rodriguez's salary affects the amount the team pays
: in luxury tax, which is charged to the sport's highest-spending clubs. The
: Yankees would have to pay a 40 percent penalty in 2008 on the amount their
: payroll exceeds $155 million.
洋基全隊一億九千萬的薪資是全聯盟最高。球隊必須評估A-Rod薪資對豪華稅的影響。
洋基在2008年因為薪資會超過一億五千五百萬,必需支付百分之四十的罰金。
: ``They are going to have to make a really tough call,'' Walters said.
Walters:「到時候洋基會面臨一個困難的抉擇。」
: Mets
: Rodriguez is scheduled to make $27 million for each of the next three seasons
: and might have a difficult time getting more, Walters said. After revenue
: sharing, only the New York Mets would profit by signing him at his current
: salary. The club would generate $31 million with Rodriguez continuing to play
: in the nation's biggest media market.
Walters說,接下來的三季,依照合約A-Rod每季可拿兩千七百萬,而且他很難再從洋基
身上榨出更多油水了。經過收入共享重整後,只有大都會隊可以以A-Rod的薪資現值
簽下他,同時還保持獲利。如果A-Rod留在這個全美最大的媒體市場,大都會可以賺
三千一百萬。
: With the Mets' All-Star third baseman David Wright and shortstop Jose Reyes
: signed through at least 2010, Rodriguez is an unlikely addition.
: Rodriguez would have a hard time finding a bigger contract, said former Red
: Sox General Manager Dan Duquette.
但是大都會的明星三壘手David Wright和游擊手Jose Reyes都簽到了至少2010年。大都
會實在很難再簽A-Rod。 前紅襪GM Dan Duquette說,A-Rod很難再找到比現在更肥的合
約了。
: ``He's already playing in the largest market,'' said Duquette, who was one of
: Walters's clients. ``Where else can he go where his services will be more
: valuable?''
Duquette:「他所處的已經是最大的市場了。他有可能找到使他自己增值的地方嗎?」
: Owners of teams desperate to win, like the Yankees' George Steinbrenner,
: might pay more for Rodriguez, even if it means losing on the investment,
: Walters said.
: ``It's not about rationality,'' he said. ``What is his objective? Does he
: want to win money or want to win rings?''
球隊老闆們求勝若渴。Walters說,洋基大老闆因此有可能砸更多銀子在A-Rod身上
,即使投資不划算也在所不惜。
「這已脫離理性思考的範疇了。要看大老闆的真正目的為何。他想賺錢?還是得
戒指?」
