來看一篇報紙新聞吧： http://tinyurl.com/37ncgc 內有A-Rod霹靂無敵帥氣照。(well,請忽略旁邊的標題) Stay-rod? 留下肉？ More like A-dios Rod. 比較像是掰掰~~肉 ※adios=adieu 西班牙語的goodbye The Yankees were hoping to keep Alex Rodriguez in pinstripes with a massive contract extension, but A-Rod never gave them that chance, opting out of the final three years of his contract yesterday. 洋基想以優渥的延長合約留住A-Rod，但是A-Rod並沒有給他們機會。 A-Rod left $91 million on the table for the right to become a free agent, effectively ending his unfulfilling four-year stay in New York. The announcement came on the night the Red Sox completed their World Series sweep of Colorado, perhaps making waves in some quarters. 這個消息昨晚在世界大賽的最後一場比賽宣佈：A-Rod放棄了九千一百萬，正式結束他與紐約四年的關係，成為自由球員。 "We really wanted him back, but obviously he didn't want to be a Yankee," Hank Steinbrenner said late last night. "I just think that's a shame. But if that's the case, then this is goodbye." 史大公子昨晚說："我們真的希望他回來，但很明顯地他並不想當北佬，我只覺得很遺憾，但是事已至此，那就真的是要說再見了。" Agent Scott Boras expressed Rodriguez's concern for the state of flux ithin the Yankees organization, from the unsettled managerial situation to the status of pending free agents Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte. 波拉斯說A-Rod真正在意的是洋基球對內部的人事變遷，包括新教練以及也將成為自由球員的Mo跟吼嘿，還有不確定明年是否會繼續回來投球的派帥。 "He called me today and let me know he'd reached the decision," Boras told the Daily News last night. "Primarily, he made the decision that he didn't have enough information about who is going to be on the team, with Posada, Mariano and Andy Pettitte out there. Ownership had made men- tion of patience. In fairness to everyone, Alex wanted to have as much information as possible." "A-Rod昨晚跟我熱線，告訴我他的決定。"波拉斯說："根本上，沒有足夠的人事資訊讓他做這個決定；我們家肉阿，希望的是得到足夠的訊息，這樣才公平嘛。" (所以意思是球團應該先搞定教練團重組以及其他人的合約，到時候阿肉喜歡新教練，該留的隊友也還在，他就會做不一樣的決定？) Rodriguez had until 10 days after the World Series to opt out, but he didn't even wait to receive the team's offer. 應該還有十天的時間，但是A-Rod甚至沒等球團開價。 "It was clear that none of the player decisions would be made in that time frame, and we understood that," Boras said. "It was just something where Alex called me and said there was no way he was going to be able to make any decisions before (the opt-out date)." 當然一般來說球員的合約不會這麼早談定，波拉斯說，但是阿肉在熱線時告訴他， (就是因為這些人事方面的不確定)要在期限前做出決定真的很困難耶。 Boras said he informed Cashman of the decision yesterday; the GM could not be reached for comment last night. 波拉斯說昨天現金人就被告知，而現金人昨晚並沒說啥。 In a winter filled largely with mediocre free agents, A-Rod should expect to command a monster contract. It remains to be seen, though, which teams will be willing to shell out more than $30 million per year, which figures to be the asking price for the two-time American League MVP. A-Rod今年冬天應該會收到一份大合約，哪個是能付出依年三千萬以上的球團呢。 That list is not expected to include the Yankees, who have said for months that they would not pursue A-Rod if he became a free agent. By opting out, Rodriguez takes Texas owner Tom Hicks off the hook for the nearly $30 million he was to pay the Yankees over the next three years, part of the original deal that brought A-Rod to New York in 2004. A-Rod的自由也解放了遊騎兵，省下大約三千萬必須幫洋基分攤未來三年A-Rod的薪水。 ※take off the hook 取下魚鉤在這裡用的很有意思，可以翻做"解套"吧 XD "I don't think there's any secret that we want A-Rod to stay," Hank Steinbrenner had said Friday. "But it's also not a secret that Brian (Cashman) made it clear a long time ago, and I've made it clear after him: if they opt out, goodbye." "我們希望A-Rod留下的意願很明顯，沒有任何不能說的秘密；"史大公子云：" 但是現金人很久以前就說的承諾也是再真不過，如果A-Rod逃脫，那就掰掰。" (鐵了心不去追囉。) If the Yankees stand by their word, Rodriguez's free-agent process could take an interesting turn, as the market tends to take a dip when the Yankees are not involved. 如果洋基球團說話算話，那接下來的自由球員市場會很有趣，應該不少人會把手伸進來攪一攪，探一探溫度。 Boras, though, stressed that Rodriguez wanted to make an "informed decision" before signing a deal, something that could not happen before the opt-out date. 波拉斯強調，簽任何合約之前，A-Rod需要足夠的情報去下決定。 "I'm not stating anything about the Yankees," Boras said. "Our position is that we're willing to talk to the Yankees. Alex played well there, he was comfortable there. We just didn't want to make any decisions without as much information as we could have." "我們家阿肉在洋基打得很好，而且感覺很舒服，當然我們願意跟洋基談，我們只是不想在訊息不足的狀態下做任何決定。" (意思就是有興趣的球隊可以開始出價了) Boras stressed that neither he nor Rodriguez were worried about the direction the Yankees are taking, such as who would be replacing Joe Torre. 波拉斯又強調，他跟A-Rod都不擔心洋基未來的走向。 "I'm not saying we're concerned about the Yankees; we're just patient in our decision-making process," Boras said. "We want to have all the infor- mation. We need to know the direction ownership is going to take. We have a new relationship with Hank and Hal (George Steinbrenner's younger son). With your closer, catcher and a premier starting pitcher as free agents, that could have a real impact on '08 and beyond." "這個階段我們只是對於做決定很謹慎，我們需要全部的消息。因為史老將全力下放給兒子們，而終結者、捕手跟先發投手都有可能走人，這些對明年有巨大的影響。" From the first day of spring training, Rodriguez publicly expressed his desire to remain in New York. He stuck to that story all season, saying on Sept. 26 following the team's wild card clincher that it would be difficult to imagine playing anyplace else. 自春訓的第一天起，A-Rod就公開表明他想留在紐約，他無法想像自己在別的地方打球。 "This feels like home," Rodriguez said after the champagne celebration. "So much has happened to me here - adversity, some success - that I feel like anything but New York feels weird to me now. ... I love New York." "我愛紐約，這裡就像家一樣。" Apparently, he didn't love it enough to wait for an offer from the Yankees, which was going to be in the range of between $135 million and $140 million for five years. That would have eclipsed the $25.2 million per year he made from the 10-year, $252 million contract he signed with Texas before the 2001 season. 顯然地，A-Rod對紐約的愛還不足以讓他等一下，看看球團即將給他的合約：大約會是五年一億三千五百萬到一億四千萬；每年平均下來的金額會使他2001年與遊騎兵簽的合約黯然失色。 ------------------------------------------------- 翻譯完畢，敬請指教。感覺上紐約日報對阿肉不是很友善，新聞要酸他才過癮 ------------------------------------------------- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.64.49.5
