[新聞] Posada and Rivera at Top of Yanks’ List
Posada and Rivera at Top of Yanks’ List
By TYLER KEPNER
Published: November 8, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 7 — The Yankees are preparing new offers to their top
free agents, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, in an effort to sign them
before other teams can negotiate with them.
洋基決定給Mo和Posada新的offer, 希望在他們和其他球隊談之前簽下他們.
“The offers are going to be very generous offers,” the senior vice
president Hank Steinbrenner said Wednesday night in a telephone interview. “
It comes down to what they’re really looking to do at this point.”
"這些offer將會非常慷慨." Hank說.
The Yankees made offers of roughly three years and $40 million to both
players, who can talk about money with other teams Tuesday.
他們倆星期二就可以跟其他球隊談.
“They were fair offers,” Steinbrenner said. “But there’s no question,
within reason — because you can’t be an idiot — we’re going to make very
generous offers.”
Posada’s agents, Seth and Sam Levinson, have met daily with General Manager
Brian Cashman at the general managers’ meetings here. Posada has said he
would like to explore the open market, likely to see if he can find a team
that would offer four guaranteed years. But the general manager of another
interested team said he believed Posada would return to the Yankees.
Posada說他要測試自由球員市場, 看看有沒有球隊要跟他簽四年約.
但另一個有興趣球隊的GM說:他相信Posada會回到洋基.
Rivera’s agent, Fern Cuza, was in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday with
another client, Pedro Martínez. Cuza said he was awaiting a new offer from
the Yankees, who met with Rivera on Oct. 30 in Tampa, Fla.
Mo的經紀人在等洋基的新offer.
“I think we’re probably going to just go on the market and see what’s out
there,” Cuza said in a telephone interview. “We’re not too far off from
that period.”
"我想我們可能會到自由球員市場去看看." Mo經紀人Cuza說.
"我們離那個時間點已經不遠了."
Steinbrenner stressed that the Yankees want Posada, Rivera and Andy Pettitte
to return. He said he planned to speak with Pettitte but would not pressure
him. Pettitte declined his $16 million option Monday, but the Yankees have a
standing offer to him for that amount. He told Houston television station
KRIV that he wants to make a decision before Jan. 1.
洋基給Pettitte的1600萬offer會一直有效.
Pettitte說他希望在1月1日前做決定.
“He just has to make up his own mind, and everything he’s talking about is
understandable,” Steinbrenner said. “He had to be pulled out of retirement
last year. I understand everything he’s saying, and we’re going to give him
all the time in the world.”
"他只是需要下定決心, 所有他說的話我們都能諒解."Steinbrenner說.
"我們會給他所有需要的時間."
Steinbrenner stressed the importance of pitching and said he expected the
Yankees to soon have the parts in place to get them past the division series
under the new manager, Joe Girardi.
“Pitching is what we need to go further than the first round of the
playoffs, where we’ve been sitting the last three years,” Steinbrenner
said. “We hopefully have the pitchers we want now, and hopefully we get Andy
back and certainly Mariano. We’ve got the manager we want. I think if
everything falls into place, it won’t be any problem going past the first
round.”
"過去三年我們都在第一輪季後賽就出局, 投手是讓我們能度過第一輪的關鍵."
Steinbrenner說.
The Yankees need a third baseman to replace Alex Rodriguez, and Miguel
Cabrera of the Florida Marlins is their top option. But Steinbrenner said
that the Yankees’ top three young pitchers — Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes
and Ian Kennedy — would not be dealt to acquire a third baseman.
Miguel Cabrera是我們三壘手的第一選擇.
但是張伯倫, Hughes, 和Kennedy並不會因此被交易.
“As far as trading one of them — and, of course, it would require someone
else as well — for a position player, I have doubts about that,”
Steinbrenner said. “My choice at this point would be that those three,
right now, are pretty much off limits. But that doesn’t mean we can’t work
something else out.”
"如果用他們三個其中的一個去換一個野手, 我會有疑慮." Steinbrenner說.
"我現在的決定是他們三個已經超出我的界限, 但這不代表我們無法談一些其他對象."
Asked if the Yankees would trade Hughes, Chamberlain or Kennedy if an elite
pitcher were on the trade market, Steinbrenner had no comment.
被問到如果市場上有一個好的投手,他們三個可不可以拿來交易, Steinbrenner不予置評.
But Steinbrenner is convinced of the importance of pitching, and said, “This
game is 70 percent pitching, and even more in the postseason.”
"球賽70%是由投手主宰, 季後賽會更多."Steinbrenner說.
It stands to reason that the Yankees would be open to trading one of their
young arms for Johan Santana if the Minnesota Twins were to make him
available.
如果雙城要交易Johan Santana, 洋基願意用其中一個投手去交易.
The Twins are trying to re-sign Santana. But it could be that the Yankees are
holding back their primary trading chips in the hopes that Santana will hit
the market.
雙城想要重簽Santana.
但是洋基似乎留了一些主要的籌碼, 希望Santana會進入市場.
If that stance keeps the Yankees from trading for Cabrera, they could turn
their attention to the Baltimore Orioles’ Miguel Tejada, who would switch to
third base from shortstop.
如果洋基因此態度而換不到Cabrera, 他們會轉向Miguel Tejada.
他將被從遊擊手轉換成三壘手.
A trade for Tejada is a backup plan for the Yankees, who could afford him.
With two years and $26 million left on his contract, the Orioles want to move
him.
Tejada是洋基的備用計劃, 洋基付得起他的薪水.
他的合約剩下二年2600萬, 金鶯想要移動他.
The Yankees are doubtful that Peter Angelos, the Orioles’ owner, would make
a major deal with them. But after 10 consecutive losing seasons, Angelos has
ceded some control to his new president of baseball operations, Andy
MacPhail, who said the team needed an overhaul.
“We have to be open-minded to anything,” MacPhail said. “Trying to sign a
free agent here and there and Band-Aid this thing is not a strategy that has
really worked out.”
"我們必須對任何事情敞開心胸."金鶯總裁MacPhail說.
"隨便簽自由球員的策略是行不通的."
MacPhail said the Orioles want to rebuild their talent base in all areas,
suggesting they would want multiple players in any deal. They need pitching
and have an obvious hole in center field, where Melky Cabrera would fit.
MacPhail說: 金鶯希望重建他們每個位置, 代表他們希望在交易中獲得數個選手.
他們需要投手和補中外野的洞, Melky Cabrera能補那個洞.
The Orioles also need a closer because of injuries to Chris Ray and Danys Bá
ez and are interested in Kyle Farnsworth, who was developed by the Chicago
Cubs when MacPhail and Manager Dave Trembley worked there.
金鶯還需要closer, 他們對Farnsworth有興趣.
Farnsworth在小熊養成時, MacPhail和 Trembley都在那.
Cashman said it would be easier to find a third baseman via trade than
through free agency. The Yankees have no interest in the free agent Aaron
Boone and expect another free agent, Mike Lowell, to re-sign with the Boston
Red Sox.
現金人說透過交易找三壘手比從自由球員市場找容易.
洋基對自由球員Aaron Boone沒興趣, 也預期Mike Lowell會跟紅襪簽約.
“He definitely wants to come back here, and we would like him to come back
here,” Boston General Manager Theo Epstein said. “We are hopeful we can get
something done. We’ve been talking and we’ve made some progress, but we’ll
see how it turns out.”
"他一定想要回來這裡, 而我們也想要他回來." 紅襪的GM Theo Epstein說.
