SAN FRANCISCO — The Red Sox have expressed to other clubs that they’re willing
to listen to offers for outfielder Alex Verdugo ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadl
ine, multiple sources told MassLive. A source with another American League team
confirmed the Sox inquired as to whether Verdugo would be of interest to them.
多个消息来源指出红袜队向其他队表示愿意听取Alex Verdugo的报价
At 56-49, the Red Sox are expected to, for the second consecutive trade deadline
, look to buy and sell ahead of 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday. While the club is known to
be looking for pitching upgrades to fortify its chances in the AL wild-card rac
e, they’ve also signaled a willingness to move pieces off the major league rost
er.
红袜预期会和去年一样在交易大限前边买边卖，虽然他们一直在寻求投手升级来拼外卡，但
也愿意交易大联盟名单中的球员
Outfielder Adam Duvall, a free agent after the season, is a natural fit to be mo
ved because the Red Sox have a surplus of outfielders (three spots for Duvall, V
erdugo, Masataka Yoshida and Jarren Duran). At least two clubs — Atlanta and Ph
iladelphia — are known to have interest in Duvall.
今年即将FA的Adam Duvall是个很合适的人选，因为红袜外野手太多了，已知至少两队（勇
士、费城人）有兴趣
The Red Sox, though, could make a more outside-the-box move and deal Verdugo, wh
o is under team control through 2024. Chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said la
st week that his clear preference is to add controllable players, and not rental
s, in any deals he makes this month. Boston could dangle Verdugo in such a scena
rio in an effort to sell high on a player who has had a good season (before a pr
olonged recent slump) and might not be part of its long-term core.
不过红袜可能干更大的事：送走Verdugo。Chaim Bloom上周就表示他倾向于交易来还能控制
一段时间而非短租型的球员，在这种情况下红袜可能愿意兜售表现不错但并非未来长期核心
的Verdugo。
Verdugo once again confirmed Sunday that no contract extension talks have taken
place. The emergence of Duran and Yoshida as controllable outfield starters, as
well as the eventual arrival of versatile prospect Ceddanne Rafaela, may make th
e Red Sox feel comfortable with the possibility of moving on from Verdugo. It’s
likely the Red Sox would be in search of a young, controllable starting pitcher
who, together with the emergence of Brayan Bello, could headline the rotation f
or years to come.
Verdugo在周日再次表明他没有在跟红袜谈延长合约。Duran与吉田正尚都还可以控制数年，
加上新秀Ceddanne Rafaela距离大联盟不远了，让红袜有余裕交易Verdugo。红袜的目标可
能是年轻且控制期长的先发投手，未来能与Brayan Bello一起带领先发轮值。
Verdugo got off to a great start at the plate, hitting .307 with 26 doubles and
an .856 OPS in his first 72 games. He has slumped for a prolonged period, enteri
ng Sunday having hit just .143 (11-for-77) with one double, seven RBIs and a .44
6 OPS in his last 21 games. The Red Sox have dropped Verdugo down in their lineu
p to accommodate Duran in the leadoff spot and even sat Verdugo for a two-game s
tretch earlier in the week in an attempt for him to reset.
Verdugo开季打得很好但近况不佳（前72场比赛OPS.856、近21场.446），红袜为了Duran打
开路先锋已经将Verdugo的棒次往后调，本周稍早甚至让他坐了两场板凳以进行调整。
Doing that also gave them a look at Duvall in right field alongside Duran in cen
ter in what would be the outfield alignment for the final two months of this yea
r if Verdugo were to be traded. Verdugo has shown great improvement on the defen
sive side of things this season, with manager Alex Cora calling him the “best d
efensive right fielder” in the majors earlier this week.
这个调度让红袜的外野组合变成中外野Duran-右外野Duvall，如果交易成真那这也会是红袜
今年最后两个月的中右外野阵容。Verdugo今年的防守进步很多，Alex Cora在本周夸他是大
联盟防守最好的右外野手。
Verdugo is making $6.3 million this season, making him an affordable option for
any team looking for outfield help. He will get a substantial raise this winter
in his final turn through arbitration.
Verdugo今年的年薪630万，让他成为任何寻求外野补强的球队都负担得起的选项。明年是他
最后一次薪资仲裁，预计将会大幅加薪。
Honestly, I don’t care. I don’t care,” said Verdugo Sunday morning at Oracle
Park. “Whatever happens, happens. I really don’t care about that stuff. I’m h
ere playing, I’m with the Red Sox. I thought the same thing when I was with the
Dodgers. I thought I wouldn’t get traded and I ended up getting traded. This i
sn’t my first time and I feel like once you get traded, you don’t care. You do
n’t care.
Verdugo说他不在乎，该发生的总会发生，他就是来打球的。以前他在道奇队也以为自己不
会被交易，他觉得被交易过一次就不会再在乎这种事了。
“I want to stay with the Red Sox. I want to be here. But at the end of the day,
it’s a business and all I have to do is go out and play. I separate (the game
and the business.)”
“我想在红袜打球，我想留在这里，但追根究底这只是一门生意。我能做的就是上场打球，
把比赛与生意分开。”
随便翻，不过大概就是这样
