Chapter 851 The Best
"Okay, let's count at 100 million." Xi Chuan has always been calm: "He is 22 years old now, how many years do you think he will have to stay in the minor leagues before he has a chance to stand in the major leagues? Or in other words, to stand in the major leagues ?”

How many years?Shen Qin was stunned for an instant.

in the case of……

Cats are catchers!
How many years will the catcher be in the minor leagues?Even if the talent is excellent, the team's main battle is old...

No, no, no, the kind of team that will retire from the main game must have started training early on.Look at the Cardinals and look at the Astros, the catcher's records have been in the minor leagues for a long time!
Are they not as good as cats?Obviously not!
"Two, two years?"

Xi Chuan squinted at him: "Are you sure?"

All right!Personal emotions aside: "4-6 years?"

"Okay, even if it's 4-6 years, there's nothing wrong with this being a conservative range. We'll just take it and count him for 5 years. He's 22 years old now and 5 years old in 27 years. He'll be 28 years old after half a year in the major leagues. Let's just assume that he can stand up straight away. Putting aside all injury problems, he is 28 years old. The team has used tricks to create a difference in playing time. Add another year of 29 years old and 6 years of major league control. He will be He is 35 years old and became a free agent at the age of 35? Do you think he can get the first contract in his life? A high salary? Qin Qin, don’t blame me for saying reality. Whether he will retire directly or join a minor league contract is still a question. .”

"Even if he's not a catcher, 35 years old is definitely the age at which players start to age rapidly. And that's without all the injuries. Let me really say that after the age of 30, the player is going downhill. It’s just that the speed of this downhill is fast or slow.”

Shen Qinqing blushed!I was at a loss for a while!
The major leagues are such a realistic place, he always knew it!
The small leagues take a very long time to develop, and the major leagues take a long time to control!Even if most of the players are famous, the first contract comes very late.

Being able to become a free agent before the age of 30 is very difficult in itself.

Take myself as an example, if you are in another team, you will be drafted at the age of 20, and you will get used to it in half a year. If you have the opportunity to play in the autumn league, you will play in the minor league for a year or two.

等到了大联盟就22岁了，6年控制+1年操作，这就29了！也就是说作为自由球员的他在整个生涯中基本上就是只有1张合约了。

29 years old, 25 years old!
He didn't dare to think, really didn't dare to think!
Xi Chuan handed over the water: "There is indeed a very big problem in the major league, but it can't be said that it is a labor or management problem. It can be regarded as a long-term relationship. Since it has been going on for so many years, it will definitely not be a problem in a few years. There is a possibility of any changes."

"This, is the major league... the professional league that allows players to earn the most money!"

It was a bit ironic to say this, Shen Qin also twitched the corner of his mouth.He is not qualified to judge anything, every player is like this, isn't it?

Coupled with the low salaries in the minor leagues, the draft signing bonus is very important.

But he still didn't understand how Mao'er agreed to go to the Japanese job, it was completely unreasonable: "Go to the Japanese job...can he be better than he is now?"

Xi Chuan then explained to him in detail that when he was gone, Qin Qin and the immature kid in this body would have to carry them by themselves.

The more you learn, the less trouble you have.

"The word 'good' is very difficult to define. I can only say that he can get as much guaranteed salary as possible."

"We are now negotiating this part, but I will be stuck at 6 years, this principle will not be convenient."

Shen Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "This means that Mao'er will return to the United States after 6 years, right?"

"Of course, he will definitely come back, and he will also go to a special institution every offseason for professional training in the US professional league. I said, guarantee the salary. The most important thing now is this."

"Those six years...how much money?"

"Around 600-800 million, this is a very scary sum of money for a Japanese job."

Shen Qin was stunned: "Actually... it can't be much, right? The signing bonus of many players is only a little less than this. No matter how the team operates, Maoer's ability is definitely at the level of a first-round show."

Nishikawa recognized this. Mao'er's skills were fine, but if others wanted to suppress him and were not in a hurry, there would naturally be ways. : "But for Mao'er, the money can be safely put into his pocket. This is the best guarantee."

"Six years later, he was 6 years old. He returned to the U.S. as a free agent. The 28-year-old free agent and the 28-year-old free agent, one is the peak and the other is the end of the year. I don't need to explain this to you, right?"

This point is indeed incomparable, and there is a huge gap between them!
"But the problem is..."

"But the question is whether he can play at a level that allows him to return to the American professional leagues in the past few years, right?" Nishikawa continued: "This can only depend on him! No matter where he plays, whether it is the No. [-] pick or the last-round pick. , this is an unavoidable problem for every player, Qin Qin, you are the same..."

Shen Qin Moran, yes, it's the same for himself.If you fight well, you will get a big contract. If you fight badly, you will have no face to ask for anything.

And Mao'er is 28 years old!Just type it out!Bangzi has maintained a high level, and he has been able to make more money earlier than during the same period.

From this point of view and competition, it is indeed a good arrangement.

"There is another problem. In the minor leagues, salary and accommodation are actually very big problems. The competition is also very high, and playing opportunities will also be controlled."

"But there are only one and two players in Japan, so he can play more easily. We will also discuss the living treatment in more detail, which must be easier than the multi-person arrangement here."

After thinking about it, Shen Qin understood that since Mao'er would agree to Xi Chuan's arrangement, he and his family had carefully considered all aspects.

Indeed, no matter in terms of the money he can pocket, or the age of becoming a free agent, the current arrangement is undoubtedly the best.

Of course you can make more money in the major leagues, but the prerequisite for being a rookie is that you play extremely well and maintain your form.

However, he was still a little worried: "The training for a day job...is too ruthless! Although it is much easier and more scientific than that of an amateur, I still think..."

Seeing that he finally relaxed, Xi Chuan finally gave him a smiling face: "You don't have to think too much, we will communicate with the ball team on this point, and the cats themselves will increase or decrease according to their own conditions. In this regard, we must maintain a high level freedom of."

Many Latin American players also encountered problems in this aspect when they played in Japan and could not adapt, and finally chose to return to China.

But Maoer's starting point is high enough. Since the club has paid such a high price, of course it will give more room for relief.
