Then the trades began 內容： It was Aug. 3, the day of baseball’s trade deadline and an off-day on the East Coast before a series in Baltimore. About a dozen Los Angeles Angels were gathered near the first tee, ready to begin a long-awaited round of golf at the course that Tiger Woods designed for superstar Mike Trout. Little did the players realize, some of them would be former Angels very soon. 這天是 8 月 3 日，不僅是棒球界的交易截止日，也是天使隊前往巴爾的摩展開系列賽前於東岸獲得的休息日。大約十幾名洛杉磯天使隊的球員聚集在第一個發球檯附近，準備在老虎伍茲為 Mike Trout 所設計的高爾夫球場上，展開這場期待已久的球局。然而，球員們當時並未意識到，他們當中的某些人很快就會變成天使隊的「前隊友」。 “It seemed like every four or five holes someone was getting the call,” said Trout, who watched his team bonding event turn into one big breakup. Trout, 35, was eager to host his teammates near his hometown of Millville, N.J., at his private, invitation-only club, Trout National — The Reserve. But he’d planned the outing in the spring, without realizing the date’s significance on the baseball calendar. Nor could he know back then that the Angels, a team that rarely acts as sellers at the deadline, would tear it down. Suffice it to say, no team ever experienced a deadline day like this. Three players were traded while taking in the rolling hills of Trout National — reliever Brent Suter, outfielder Jo Adell and reliever Ryan Zeferjahn. A fourth, reliever Kirby Yates, learned he was dealt after the round was over while in a car heading back to Trout’s home. “It was pretty wild watching everybody go,” said Yates, a 12-year veteran. “None of us have ever seen that many guys get traded at once. “After somebody went, we just kept saying, ‘All right, who’s next?’” 「感覺大概每過四、五個洞，就會有人接到電話，」眼睜睜看著團隊凝聚活動演變成一場大分手的 Trout 說道。現年 35 歲的 Trout 一直很想在老家紐澤西州 Millville 附近的私人頂級俱樂部「 Trout National — The Reserve」招待隊友。但他早在春訓期間就規劃了這次聚會，當時並未意識到這個日期在棒球日曆上的特殊意義，更不可能料到向來很少在截止日扮演賣家角色的天使隊，會選擇將陣容拆解重組。可以這麼說，從來沒有任何一支球隊經歷過這樣的交易截止日。有三名球員在欣賞 Trout National 丘陵景致時被交易——分別是中繼投手Brent Suter、外野手 Jo Adell 以及中繼投手 Ryan Zeferjahn。第 4 位被交易的是中繼投手 Kirby Yates，他是在打完球、搭車返回 Trout 家的途中才知道自己被交易了。「看著大家一個個離開，感覺真的很瘋狂，」擁有 12 年資歷的老將 Yates 說道。「我們從來沒見過同時有這麼多人被交易。」「當有人離開後，我們就只是一直互相問：『好吧，下一個輪到誰？』」 A fifth Angel traded that day, right-hander José Soriano, wasn’t part of the group, which the previous night boarded a bus upon landing in Baltimore for the two-hour drive to Trout’s home in New Jersey. Soriano, 27, doesn’t golf. He was asleep in his hotel room when he was awakened by a phone call the next morning informing him he was heading to the Toronto Blue Jays. Everyone else — the dozen or so players who stayed overnight at Trout’s home, plus coaches and staffers who arrived on a bus from Baltimore the following morning — was at Trout National. “I’m bummed I wasn’t invited,” Angels interim general manager John Mozeliak joked. “I was a little tied up that morning.” Mozeliak, preoccupied with trade negotiations, did not know nearly half his team was golfing. Trout came to realize, as he organized the outing, that it might be an unusual day. The group, he said, had an idea that trades were coming. 第5位在當天被交易的天使隊球員是右投手 José Soriano，他並沒有參加這個行程。前一天晚上，這群球員在降落巴爾的摩後便搭上巴士，經歷兩小時車程前往 Trout 位於紐澤西的家中。 27歲的 Soriano 不打高爾夫球。隔天早晨，他正在飯店房間裡睡覺，隨後被一通電話吵醒，告知他已被交易至 Toronto Blue Jays。至於其他所有人——包括留在 Trout 家過夜的十多名球員，以及次日早晨搭乘巴士從巴爾的摩抵達的教練團與工作人員——當時都在 Trout National 球場上。「我很遺憾自己沒收到邀請，」天使隊代理總經理 John Mozeliak 開玩笑地說。「我那天早上有點抽不出空。」忙於交易談判的 Mozeliak 當時並不知道隊上有近一半的球員都在打高爾夫球。Trout 在籌備這次活動時逐漸意識到，這可能會是極不尋常的一天。他說，這群球員當時其實就已經預感到交易即將發生。 -- 大物游擊劉俊緯 https://imgur.com/KjcPP7b
