前田健太不滿道奇使用他的方式 - 棒球

棒球公務員前田通知道奇隊他不滿意目前道奇使用他的方式。

春訓時前田以先發的角色來做調整，而開季後實際上投的也不錯，但季中球團又把他轉到
中繼。

雖然這調度對道奇是有幫助的，但對前田確是不利的，前田從2016到2019的薪水變化如下
：

2016: 7.25M
2017: 4.25M
2018: 3M
2019: 5.4M

也許柳賢振離開後對前田先發位置的穩定會有幫助吧！


待了四年前田終於不爽了...
投成這樣每年薪水還能越來越少，下次記得換一間經紀公司喔...


Andy McCullough of The Athletic writes today that Dodgers pitcher Kenta Maeda
has informed the club that he’s unhappy with how the team has handled him.

How have they handled him? McCullough puts it succinctly for those unaware:

He prepares to be a starter during spring training. Over the course of two doz
en outings, he performs like a credible member of the rotation. As summer turn
s to fall, the team shifts him into the bullpen, where he pitches like an elit
e reliever and forms part of the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen.

Thing is, it works for the team. But it’s also not great for Maeda personally
. He makes $3 million a year on a long-term deal, and that’s way less than th
e value he provides. His way of making up for that when he signed the deal was
building in performance bonuses into his contract that could snag him million
s more each year. Specifically:

$1M each for 15 and 20 games started;

$1.5M each for 25, 30, and 32 games started;

$250,000 each for 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, and 190 inn
in

$750,000 for 200 innings pitched.

In the four seasons Maeda has had that deal — 2016 through 2019 — he has sta
rted 32, 25, 20 and 26 games, respectively. His innings over that span: 175.2,
134.1, 125.1, and 153.2. The operation of that $3 million base plus incentive
s means that his salary has gone from $7.25 million in 2016, down to $4.25 mil
lion in 2017, down to $3 million in 2018, and then bouncing back up to $5.4 mi
llion in 2019.

Maeda has been a somewhat more effective pitcher as a reliever than as a start
er, but that would probably track for most starters. Either way, it’s a workl
oad that Maeda, who won the Japanese equivalent of the Cy Young Award twice be
fore coming to the United States, would like to see expanded.

Given that Hyun-Jin Ryu is a free agent and may not be back, he might have a c
hance to see that happen this year. But then again, he has been a part of the
rotation every offseason and every early season for the past four years. Start
ing in September and October has been another story.
