Daryl morey will obviously try to reduce that , but when les alexander sent him after francis , the decision was made to go past the tax number and not make a subsequent deal that would hurt the roster in the name of tax savings 显然，达瑞尔-穆雷会尽力减少这笔开销，但是当亚历山大派他去追逐弗朗西斯的时候，就意味着即使超出奢侈税，也不能因此而使火箭的人员引进受到影响。
Because of the luxury tax on their payroll , the yankees would effectively pay $ 56 million to sign a pitcher to a four - year , $ 40 million contract . ( the tax forces the yankees to pay $ 1 . 40 for every dollar on their payroll . ) internally , the yankees have determined that no pitcher on the market is worth that much 因为洋基薪资总额过高，要缴奢侈税，所以他们若以4年4000万美元签下一名投手，实际上他们可能要付出5600万美元(因为奢侈税为40 ? ，洋基每1元的薪资总额要付出1 . 4元) ，洋基内部已经决定，目前市场上没有一位投手值那麽多钱。
