[外電] Rays Exercise Club Option On David DeJ

[TampaBayRays (坦帕灣光芒)]

The Rays have exercised the club's $6.5MM option on outfielder David DeJesus,
tweets Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. (With a $1.5MM buyout, this was
effectively a $5MM decision.) Meanwhile, the sides are also discussing a
multi-year extension, Topkin further tweets.

This news rates as at least a mild surprise, largely due to Tampa's
historically lean payroll, which has landed just over $60MM at opening day
the last two years. Looking ahead, the Rays owe $23.6MM to five players in
2014, and could spend right around $30MM on arbitration-eligible players.
MLBTR's Mark Polishuk was among those who expected the option to be too
pricey for GM Andrew Friedman to exercise it. Of course, if ace David Price
finds a new home, his projected $13.1MM salary would open a lot of room.

DeJesus, who turns 34 in December, has been a solid-if-unspectacular
contributor for some time now. He was exactly league average at the plate in
terms of OPS last year, and he's never posted an OPS+ of under 91 or over 118
in a full season of action. (He played in just 91 games in 2010, when he
managed a 127 OPS+ for the Royals.) DeJesus has split his time about evenly
between center field and the corner outfield, and is generally viewed as
acceptable at the former and good at the latter.

The $6.5MM that DeJesus will earn next year becomes the largest annual
payroll he's pulled down. He joined Tampa through the August non-revocable
waiver trade market, after spending much of the season with the Cubs and then
getting three at-bats with the Nationals on his way south.

DeJesus也被撿了,並且開始討論延長合約
