NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez signed another big-league contract, joining the William Morris Agency in an attempt to extend his brand beyond the baseball diamond. A-rod簽了另一個”大聯盟”的合約，加入了「威廉莫里斯經紀行」，嘗試著去擴展除了棒球場之外的領域 The Yankees slugger signed with the powerhouse talent agency in Beverly Hills, Calif., and becomes part of a client list that includes some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment and business. 這位洋基的強打者受雇用於「既有精力又有才能經紀行」，並且成為一份包含在運動、娛樂、商業中有名的顧客名單中的ㄧ份子 "Partnering with William Morris will enable me to broaden the scope of my career in creative and innovative ways," Rodriguez said in a statement. "I'm excited to see what we will be able to accomplish together, both domestically and abroad." “和威廉莫里斯合作使我以創造和創新的方式來擴展我的生涯”A-rod這麼說，”我很興奮地看到能在國內和國外都能實現” At Yankee Stadium, hours before New York played the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, Rodriguez did not want to discuss his arrangement with William Morris. 在洋基球場，幾小時前洋基和雙城在星期二對戰的那個晚上，A-rod不想去和威廉莫里斯討論他們的協議 "Just baseball questions," he said while dressing at his locker before batting practice. "I just want to win baseball games." “只是棒球上的問題”他在個人置物櫃那邊穿著衣服準備打擊練習前那麼說著。”我只想去獲勝這場比賽” Dave Wirtschafter, president of William Morris Agency, called Rodriguez "one of the world's most iconic athletes whose personality transcends sports." Dave Wirtschafter，威廉莫里斯經紀行的總裁，把A-rod稱作”世界上最具有個人風格優於運動的精神象徵的運動員 "In the baseball world, Alex is synonymous with success," he said in a statement Tuesday. "Our job will be to extend that success beyond the field to other opportunities." “在棒球的世界中，A-rod這個名字同義於成功”他在禮拜二這麼說著。”我們的工作會有別於這個領域而是其他機會去擴展其他領域的成功” The deal, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was completed this month and set up by Rodriguez's manager, Guy Oseary, a music business mogul who has worked closely with William Morris. 這份交易，首先被華爾街日報報導的這個新聞，是在這個月成交的，而且是A-rod的經紀人把這份交易完成的，Guy Oseary，ㄧ位和威廉莫里斯有著密切的工作關係的音樂商業大人物 Among the star athletes handled by William Morris are Dwyane Wade, Serena Williams and Kevin Garnett. The agency represents such movie stars as Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. 在運動明星之中和威廉莫里斯有關係的，有Dwyane Wade，Serena Williams and Kevin Garnett。經紀公司表示如同Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe等等的電影明星 Rodriguez's decision to join William Morris comes at a time when he is now a staple of celebrity gossip. His wife has filed for divorce and his relationship with Madonna has generated blaring tabloid headlines and daily fodder for talk-show radio. Media reports linked Rodriguez and the pop star, but each denied a romantic relationship. A-rod決定加入威廉莫里斯的時間點剛好和他的緋聞風暴同ㄧ個時間點。他的妻子提出離婚的申請而且A-rod和瑪丹娜的關係已經登上新聞頭條和脫口秀的戲弄對象。媒體已經把 A-rod和明星連結在一起，但是兩位都否認這段”浪漫”的關係。 The 32-year-old third baseman is a three-time MVP who has hit 539 home runs and is on pace to pass Barry Bonds on the career list. 這位32歲的三壘手已經獲得三次的MVP並且打出539支全壘打並且即將超越邦茲職業生涯的紀錄。 Rodriguez is drawing a Major League-high $27 million salary this year and last December signed a record $275 million, 10-year contract with New York. The deal that allows him to make up to $305 million if he reaches certain milestones. A-rod今年在大聯盟有2千7百萬的高薪並且去年12月和洋基簽了2億7千5百萬的10年合約。這份交易使他可以提高到3億5百萬的高薪如果A-rod達成某些里程碑。 "Surrounding Alex with the right team is imperative to reaching our goals," Oseary said. "We are delighted to have William Morris as a part of our team." “A-rod和正確的球隊簽約是一件對我們達到我們的目標來說是件極重要的事” Oseary 這麼說著。”我們很高興有威廉莫里斯這個伙伴” 翻的不是很好，小弟第一次嘗試，請大家見諒m(_._)m -- ● ˙ ╰══●████ " █▋ ／ ╲ ███◣ - ------●▉█ ▅ ▁ ／ ╲ ◥ ．． - ════●▉█ █▁ ╰╯╰╯╰ ╱█) ╰════-----●▉████ ． ﹒﹒﹒▇▆▇▆▅▅▂ ╯\ ╰--------═●▉████▁▁ ﹒﹒ ‧．．．﹒﹒ ▅▅‧﹒． ﹒ ．▁▂▂▃▃▃▄▇█▉███ ψCanney -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.252.87.145
