Sonny Gray去紅襪後多賺1M(41M/1Y)
It was a heavily backloaded contract, paying the right-hander $35MM in 2026 plus a $5MM buyout on a $30MM club option for the 2027 season. The contract stipulat ed that even if the option was picked up, Gray could opt out and head back into free agency.
Sonny Gray原本合約
2026 $35M
2027 $30M（球團選擇 & 5M買斷）
That deal has been slightly restructured. The new arrangement pays Gray $31MM in 2026 and includes a $10MM buyout on a $30MM mutual option for 2027. The amended deal reinforces the fact that Gray is a one-year rental — it’s been more than a decade since a mutual option was exercised by both parties in MLB — but it a lso comes with some perks for him.
交易去紅襪後，合約稍微修改了
2026 $31M
2027 $30M（雙方選擇 & 10M買斷）
Gray is now guaranteed an extra million dollars — likely a kicker for him to wa ive his no-trade protection — and he’ll now receive the full buyout on his 202 7 option. Under the previous contract, if the Red Sox had picked up Gray’s opti on, he’d have forfeited the $5MM buyout by opting back into free agency. Now, h e’ll receive a fully guaranteed $41MM for one year.
等於Sonny Gray保障金額多了100萬鎂
等於是一張一年4100萬鎂的合約、畢竟選擇權不太可能撿
Because the Cardinals are kicking in $20MM, only $21MM of Gray’s $41MM guarante e will count against the Red Sox’ luxury tax total.
紅雀吃20M
所以等於紅襪在薪資計算只佔21M
