https://www.sacbee.com/article315004805.html In an interview with The Bee, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty made the most defin itive comments yet about the local effort to bring a Major League Baseball expan sion team to the capital region. 在接受《蜂報》訪問時，沙加緬度市長Kevin McCarty 對於把大聯盟擴編球隊帶到首府地區的計畫，發表了迄今最明確的說法 “This is very real,” McCarty said Tuesday. “I think MLB is going to give a ha rd, hard look at Sacramento with only one team in Northern California.” 「這件事非常真實，」McCarty 週二表示。「我認為在北加州只剩下一支球隊的情況下，大聯盟會非常認真地考慮沙加緬度。」 McCarty was referring to the Athletics, who will play in West Sacramento this ye ar and next before relocating to Las Vegas in 2028, leaving only the San Francis co Giants in Northern California. McCarty 指的是運動家，該隊今年與明年將在西沙加緬度比賽，之後將於2028年搬遷 Las Vegas，屆時北加州只會剩下巨人一支球隊 MLB may expand from 30 to 32 teams in 2029 and Sacramento could end up competing against Salt Lake City and Portland to be the home of a new team in the Western United States. MLB可能在2029年將球隊數量從30隊擴張到32隊，而沙加緬度可能需要與鹽湖城和波特蘭競爭，爭取成為美國西部新球隊的主場城市 McCarty said he and other Sacramento leaders will hold a press conference someti me in May to formally announce Sacramento’s MLB bid, but before then he shed so me light on what is coming. McCarty 表示，他與其他沙加緬度領袖將在5月某個時間舉行記者會，正式宣布沙加緬度申請MLB擴編球隊，但在此之前他先透露了一些計畫內容 After months of hinting about it, the mayor revealed where a new MLB stadium wou ld be built. 在經過數月的暗示後，市長終於透露新的MLB球場將建在哪裡。 “It would be in West Sacramento,” McCarty said. “That’s one thing I’m 100% locked in on.” 「會建在西沙加緬度，」McCarty 說。「這一點我百分之百確定。」 Financing a stadium that could cost an excess of $1 billion would be easier in W est Sacramento, McCarty said. McCarty 表示，建造一座可能超過10億美元的球場，在西沙加緬度籌資會比較容易。 “In Sacramento we get 22 cents on the dollar in property taxes,” McCarty said. “In West Sacramento, they get 48 cents on the dollar. 「在沙加緬度，每1美元的房地產稅我們只拿到22美分，」McCarty 說。「但在西沙加緬度，他們可以拿到48美分。 So what does that mean? We just did a (special taxing district) in Sacramento to provide a couple of hundred million dollars... for a soccer stadium in the rail yards. 那代表什麼？我們最近在沙加緬度成立了一個特殊稅區，為鐵道場地區的一座足球場提供數億美元資金。 If you did the same thing over in West Sac, you get twice the money.” 如果在西沙加緬度做同樣的事情，資金會是兩倍。」 West Sacramento is already set up to make this deal happen, McCarty said. McCarty 表示，西沙加緬度其實已經具備推動這項計畫的條件。 “In West Sacramento, they have an existing ballpark (special taxing district) t hat will be very comparable to the other states (to create) a public-private par tnership,” the mayor said. 「在西沙加緬度，已經有一個現成的球場稅收特區，可以和其他州一樣建立公私合資的合作模式，」市長說。 Aside from a stadium site, McCarty said the question he is always asked is: who would own the team? 除了球場地點之外，McCarty 表示大家最常問他的問題是：誰會擁有這支球隊？ “We’re talking to locals who want to be part of the ownership. It’s the prove rbial whale — that’s the big, big thing. 「我們正在和一些希望參與球隊所有權的當地人士接觸。這就像傳說中的『大鯨魚』——是整個計畫最大的關鍵。 There are a lot of people who have expressed an interest in buying a major leagu e team. It’s a hot commodity. 有很多人表示有興趣購買一支大聯盟球隊。這是一項非常熱門的資產。 There’s only 30 opportunities, and there are multiple, multi-billionaires that would love the opportunity, and they don’t have to live in Sacramento.” 目前只有30個機會，而有許多身價數十億美元的富豪都很想得到這個機會，他們甚至不一定需要住在沙加緬度。」 McCarty would not go into details about who would be involved in an ownership gr oup, but said some of the deep-pocketed investors vying to buy the San Diego Pad res are already “on our radar” as potential lead owners for a Sacramento expan sion bid. McCarty 不願透露潛在的球隊投資人細節，但表示，一些曾競標購買教士的資金雄厚投資者，已經「進入我們的觀察名單」，可能成為沙加緬度擴張球隊的主要老闆。 “Whoever (comes in second in the bidding process), that’s a good person to tal k to,” McCarty said. 「無論誰在競標中拿到第二名，那都是一個值得談談的人選，」McCarty 說。 “Plus, there are others who have expressed an interest in being part of this.” 「此外還有其他人也表示有興趣參與這個計畫。」 McCarty highlighted Sacramento’s market as one of the key reasons the city is a viable option for MLB. McCarty 指出，沙加緬度的市場規模是這座城市能成為MLB候選地的重要原因之一。 “Of the cities that are applying, Sacramento’s got a lot of valuable assets th at MLB would be very interested in, most importantly, our market, you know, the Northern California market with only one team.” 「在所有申請城市中，沙加緬度有很多MLB會感興趣的優勢，最重要的就是市場——北加州現在只有一支球隊。」 West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero confirmed that city officials are eyeing l and for a stadium near Sutter Health Park, which currently hosts the Athletics. Martha Guerrero 也證實，市政府正在評估 Sutter Health Park 附近的土地，該球場目前是運動家的主場。 While the exact location has not been finalized, sources indicate a site adjacen t to Sutter Health Park is under serious consideration. 雖然確切地點尚未確定，但消息人士指出，Sutter Health Park旁邊的一塊土地正被認真評估。 Guerrero expressed similar excitement, citing the growth an MLB team could bring to her city. Guerrero 也表達了相同的期待，並指出MLB球隊能為城市帶來成長。 “Just when the Bridge District was in the process of building more housing, you saw more business come out here in West Sacramento alone, just with the housing . 「當Bridge District開始興建更多住宅時，你就看到西沙加緬度因為住宅發展就吸引了更多商業進駐。 With the major league baseball team, I anticipate that’s going to significantly grow.” 如果再有一支大聯盟球隊，我預期這種成長會更加顯著。」 McCarty said a stadium on the West Sacramento side of the Sacramento River, with downtown Sacramento as the backdrop, would make the Sacramento region a compell ing contestant for an MLB expansion team. McCarty 表示，如果球場建在 Sacramento River 西沙加緬度一側、以沙加緬度市中心為背景，將讓整個沙加緬度地區成為非常有競爭力的MLB擴張城市。 “We are in the mix,” McCarty said. “There is no guarantee, but we have just a s much of a shot as other cities.” 「我們確實在競爭行列中，」McCarty 說。「雖然沒有保證，但我們和其他城市一樣有機會。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.162.25.178 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/BaseballXXXX/M.1773381799.A.A6F.html
