[新聞] Red Sox reportedly win Matsuzaka bid

[richertkk (黃家大少)]

NAPLES, Fla. --
  The Boston Red Sox have apparently won the U.S. rights to star
 Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, it was reported on several media outlets
and substantiated by highly placed baseball officials on Monday.

An announcement is expected to be made jointly on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET
(10 a.m. Tokyo time Wednesday) by Major League Baseball and the Nippon
Professional Baseball commissioner's offices, MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said
Monday at the general managers' meetings.

If the Seibu Lions turn down the bid, Matsuzaka must return to Japan next
season. If they accept it, the winning team must negotiate a contract with
the pitcher and his agent, Scott Boras, in the next 30 days or lose those
rights.

ESPN reported on its Web site on Monday that Boston is the high bidder for
the right-hander, who was the Most Valuable Player during Japan's victory this
 past March in the first World Baseball Classic. MLB accepted bids last week
that could be in anywhere from the $20 million to $50 million range. The Red
Sox, Yankees and Rangers had reportedly made bids.

ESPN said that Boston's bid was $42 million, although XM Radio reported on
one of its Monday morning shows that the bid was in excess of $50 million.
Several high-ranking baseball sources also said they had heard Boston was the
winner at about $50 million.

In any event, that amount would be unprecedented in the history of MLB-NPB
relations. When the Seattle Mariners signed Ichiro Suzuki in 2001, the posting
 price was $13.1 million.

"That's an awful lot of money just to talk to one player, who's never pitched
in the Major Leagues," said a baseball source of Boston's apparent bid for
Matsuzaka.

In addition to the posting price, the Red Sox will undoubtedly have to pay
Matsuzaka a contract worth about $12 million a year for the next three or
four years.

"Now you're looking at a $100 million man," said XM's Orestes Destrade, a
former Major League and Japan leagues player, who has strong ties in that
Asian country. "I'm concerned about that. He's a stellar pitcher, and in
regular circumstances, I think he would have a fantastic Major League career.
But that's a lot of pressure to go to Boston with a $100 million label on you."

The expenditure may make sense for the Red Sox, who are trying to rebuild a
woeful starting rotation, are always in toe-to-toe competition with the
Yankees in the American League East and have lagged well behind their New
York rivals in building relationships in the Far East.

After the 2002 season, the Yankees went into a working agreement with the
Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League to share scouting and development
data. Shortly thereafter, the Yankees signed former Giants slugger Hideki
Matsui to a three-year contract, which was extended last year. The outfielder, though, was a pure free agent with more than nine years in the Japan leagues, and the Yankees did not have to pay the Giants.

Players with less experience -- like Matsuzaka and third baseman Akinori
Iwamura -- must go through the vigorous posting system, which was put into
place in 1995 after the Dodgers signed pitcher Hideo Nomo. The posting process
 was instituted so MLB couldn't raid Japan of its up-and-coming stars without p
aying a high price to the originating team.

Posting was closed on Friday for Iwamura, who is set to leave the Yakult
Swallows if that team accepts MLB's high bid.

因為不是洋基的新聞..就把大意說一下吧..
維尼沒意外的話要去隔壁了..重點是紅襪花5000萬去投標他(談判權)
然後會有一份4年約一年大概是1200萬的薪水...(加一加..大概1億.)
我的老天爺阿...花那麼多錢買一個投手來讓我們打爆..
這樣值得嗎???

那現在我們是要去搶ZITO了??就任何方面來說..
ZITO一定比維尼便宜了八..
