[消息] Young, Twins agree to 1-year deal for 2009
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)—Delmon Young and the Minnesota Twins have agreed to
terms on a $1,152,000, one-year contract.
Young gets a raise from the $700,000 he made last season, but his salary is
technically being cut the maximum allowable 20 percent when the final prorated
share of his initial $3.7 million signing bonus ($770,000) is factored in.
Since Tampa Bay gave him a $5.8 million, five-year deal after selecting him
with the first overall pick in the 2003 amateur draft, the $1,152,000 figure
was the least Young could have made in 2009 despite not being eligible for
arbitration.
Young is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup this year, coming off a
disappointing season—hitting .290 with 10 homers and 69 RBIs—in a crowded
outfield. But assistant general manager Rob Antony said Young's salary is based
solely on the market and not on any regard for the player's status.
Young has a split contract. If he's in the minors he'll make $864,000 this
season, the maximum 40 percent cut on a split contract.
The Twins typically wait to announce new contracts for players with less than
three years of experience until the early stages of spring training. Pitchers
and catchers have their first official workout on Monday.
