FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jacoby Ellsbury and the Red Sox did not engage in
conversation about a long-term deal this offseason, coming off a year in
which he was the runner-up in the AL MVP race while hitting .321 with a .376
OBP, .552 slugging mark, .928 OPS, 32 homers, 39 steals and 105 RBI. Instead,
he and the Sox avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $8.05 million
deal for 2012.
That said, Ellsbury suggested that while he was deferring to agent Scott Boras
to deal with contract talks with the Sox going forward, he would be open to the
idea of signing to stay with the Sox beyond the 2013 season, after which he
will be eligible for free agency.
"There's always that possibility. I kind of leave that up to my agent. I was
just happy we could get everything worked out this year. As far as future
contracts and stuff like that, I let them take care of that and inform me if
there's a decision to be made," said Ellsbury. "I love playing here. It's a
great place to play. I love the fans," said Ellsbur. "It's a great place to
play. It's the only place I know. I enjoy playing in that pressure environment."
沒想到他有意願留在紅襪 表示會把合約的是請Boras處理(準備好大把鈔票..)
話說今年如果能複製11年表現 給他比照Crawford的約一點也不過分..
