Jake Lisco: 我认为特雷·亨德里克森在合同谈判中面临着一个很大的问题，那就是他缺乏真正的筹码。即使猛虎队提供了一份看似合理的合同，例如年薪2800万美元，但如果这份合同的结构不合理，或者低于市场价值，那么亨德里克森很难获得他想要的待遇。他续签了一年合同，这让他失去了主动权。现在，他只能通过制造一些不适来试图影响局势，但猛虎队似乎并不急于满足他的要求。 James Rapien: 辛辛那提猛虎队确实向特雷·亨德里克森提供了一份大约2800万美元的报价，但问题的关键在于这份报价的结构。如果这份报价是一份为期一年的合同，那么亨德里克森拒绝它是完全可以理解的。因为市场已经发生了变化，其他同位置的球员已经获得了更高的薪水。猛虎队现在掌握了所有的筹码，他们没有必要让步或为亨德里克森付款，因为他不会成为自由球员。亨德里克森想要一份多年的合同，并且希望得到未来的保障，但猛虎队可能不愿意满足这些要求。我认为，双方需要找到一个中间地带，可能需要在3000万美元出头的水平上达成协议，并加入一些激励条款。

Shownotes Transcript

The latest in the Trey Hendrickson contract saga is a report that the Cincinnati Bengals made a $28 million offer. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down where that number came from, why it's probably not quite enough - especially if it's only for one year - and where the middle ground needs to be. But Hendrickson really lacks for true leverage, and that will be his problem as he tries to exert more and more pressure on the organization. Plus, the Bengals lost a scout and hired a new analytics employee!
