这是几天前的报导
想说有空来大概翻一下，是关于梁玹种的消息
但本人不是专业的，所以如果有翻错，敬请告知

In pursuit of MLB deal, ex-KBO MVP remains forgotten in free agency
South Korean free pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong would love to travel to the United Sta
tes this winter to chase his major league dream, a raging coronavirus pandemic n
otwithstanding.
在这个冬天，韩国籍自由球员梁玹种想要前往美国，去追寻他的大联盟梦想，尽管目前疫情
正大流行中
With each passing day, though, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that Yang, w
ho has been with the Kia Tigers since 2007, will get to live that dream this yea
r. That the 2017 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) MVP is coming off a down year
isn't helping.
但随着日子一天天的过，这位从2007就开始效力起亚虎的投手，似乎越来越不可能在今年完
成他的梦想了
In a winter of discontent with several big league free agents left unsigned a do
zen days into the new year, Yang has been largely forgotten.
在多个顶级FA，进入新的一年后仍未签约的情况下
梁似乎被球队大大的遗忘了
In the slow-developing market, time isn't on Yang's side. The left-hander has se
t a self-imposed deadline of mid-January to pick his destination, be it the KBO
or Major League Baseball (MLB), so that he will have more clarity as to how he s
hould prepare for the new season. KBO training camps open at the start of Februa
ry, and MLB camps are scheduled to follow just a couple of weeks later.
在今年这个进展缓满的自由市场，时间并不站在梁这边
这位左投手有为自己设一个1月中旬的deadline
他会在那时决定要留在KBO，还是进军大联盟
这才能让他清楚如何准备开季
KBO春训是在2月初开始，MLB则是接着几周后
Yang couldn't have picked a worse time than 2020 to have such a poor season. He
posted a 4.70 ERA last year, his worst as a full-time starter, while going 11-10
in 31 starts. His ERA sat at 5.88 at the end of July, and the southpaw had to p
ut up a 3.72 ERA across his final 16 starts to bring the season number down to a
more respectable level.
梁找不到比2020投出如此糟糕的成绩更坏的时间了
他去年缴出生涯全职先发最差的4.70防御率
在31场出赛中，拿下11胜10败的成绩
而且他在去年七月结束时，防御率是高达5.88
这位左撇子是靠着球季最后16场先发，缴出3.72防御率
才把数字压到可以看的程度
Other numbers took a beating, too. He walked 3.34 batters per nine innings, his
highest in five seasons. He issued 64 walks in 172 1/3 innings in 2020 after all
owing only 33 free passes in 184 2/3 innings the previous year.
在一些数字上也显得失败，他的BB/9为近五年最高的3.34
2020年他主投172 1/3局丢了64BB
但在2019年184 2/3局中只丢了33BB
Also in 2020, Yang's walks and hits per innings pitched (WHIP) amounted to 1.42.
It was his worst figure since 2014.
此外他也丢出自2014年以来最糟的1.42WHIP
Though Yang threw his four-seam fastball harder than he had the previous six sea
sons, he hit the strike zone only 42.5 percent of the time, the lowest in that s
ame span.
好球率也创新低的42.5%
Yang's wins above replacement using FanGraphs' formula, or fWAR, came to 2.56. T
his means he was worth only about two and a half wins more to the Tigers than a
replacement-level pitcher would have been in 2020. Yang had never posted an fWAR
below 3.79 as a full-time starter.
fwar也创全职先发时的新低，在2020年他的fWAR是2.56
这代表他仅比Replacement Level投手能多贡献2.5场胜利
注: Replacement Level为用最小的代价就可以在市场上找到的球员
在这之前，梁做为全职先发的fWAR从未低于3.79
Recency bias will likely lead major league clubs to conclude Yang isn't worthy o
f their investment, with his long track record of KBO success shoved aside.
这些近期的糟糕表现， 可能导致大联盟球团认为梁并不值得它们投资
也让他多年来在KBO的成功被推到在一旁
It was only in 2017 that Yang was voted the regular season MVP here, thanks to a
20-6 record and a 3.44 ERA. He earned the Korean Series MVP award that same sea
son by leading the Tigers to their first championship in eight years. Yang pitch
ed a complete game shutout and saved the clinching game in that series.
他才在2017年，被票选为韩职年度最有价值球员
那年他缴出20胜6败3.44 ERA的成绩
并且带领起亚虎拿下八年来首冠
在总冠军系列战靠着G2完投+G5上来关门
夺下韩国大赛MVP
当年HIGHLIGHTS

Yang was even better in 2019, when he was 16-8 with a 2.29 ERA in 29 starts. He
served up just six home runs in 184 2/3 innings and had a 7.41 fWAR.
甚至在2019他投出更好的成绩
整季29场先发16胜8败 2.29 ERA
在184 2/3局中只被打6发HR
Fwar达7.41
This is Yang's second knock on MLB doors. He was posted by the Tigers after the
2014 season but couldn't land a deal then. A mysterious club won the bidding for
the exclusive rights to negotiate with Yang, but the Tigers weren't satisfied w
ith the winning amount and pulled Yang back from the market.
这是梁第二次敲大联盟的大门，他在2014年有被母队起亚虎开放竞标，且有一支神秘的球队
获得交涉权，但最终因为起亚不满意入札金额，谈判告吹
In each of the ensuing six seasons since deciding to stay with the Tigers, Yang
has thrown at least 170 innings. In that span, the workhorse left-hander leads a
ll KBO pitchers with 85 wins, 10 complete games, 925 strikeouts and 1,119 1/3 in
nings pitched.
而在接下来的六年中，他每年都能至少吃170局
缴出领先全联盟的85胜、10场完投、925次三振、1,119 1/3 局
Yang's agent, Choi In-gook, said last week that some teams trying to fill out th
eir rotation have shown interest, and added Yang will not accept a split contrac
t, which pays players different salaries based on time spent in the majors and t
he minors.
梁的经纪人Choi In-gook在上周时说，一些尝试填满轮值的球队有表达兴趣
但他也补充到梁不会接受split contract，也就是在大、小联盟领不一样的薪水
Choi also predicted that talks could pick up speed once the posted Japanese ace
Tomoyuki Sugano came off the board.
Choi预测在菅野智之确定返日后，他们的谈判能加速
Sugano, the Yomiuri Giants star, failed to sign a deal by his deadline last week
and returned to his Nippon Professional Baseball. Sugano, a two-time Central Le
ague MVP, was regarded as the best Asian pitcher to be made available this winte
r. If the potential top-of-the-rotation material like Sugano can't find a suitor
, what chances does someone like Yang, seen as a notch below Sugano, have to sig
n a big league deal?
菅野智之，两届中央联盟MVP，也被视为今年冬天最佳的亚洲投手，最后没能在截止日前签
下合约，最终返回日职
但在像菅野这种有潜力能成为前段轮值的投手都没能成功赴美
那比他低一等级的梁能获得大联盟的合约吗?
It could be a while before Yang finds out the answer, if he wants to wait for it
at all.
梁可能要再过一段时间才能知道答案了，假设他想要等的话
