这篇前半段就前面中文新闻讲的,Friedman表示道奇季后赛一轮游是整个组织的失败,教练
图不会有异动。
谈季后赛补强方向:先发投手为最优先项目,包含内部选项、自由球员市场以及潜在的交易
都会考虑。
Unsurprisingly, Friedman says his top priority this offseason will be starting p
itching. That means assessing internal options as well as considering potential
trades and free agent signings. Dodgers’ starters struggled in 2023, posting an
uncharacteristic 4.57 ERA and 4.37 SIERA. Things became especially bleak toward
the end of the year; ten different pitchers started a game for the Dodgers in S
eptember, combining for a 4.87 ERA. The team had no shortage of depth, but too f
ew reliable options.
谈Kershaw:躲人绝对有兴趣继续与他签约,不过他本人尚未告知球团自己的意愿。
As for Kershaw, Friedman made it clear that the Dodgers are “absolutely” inter
ested in bringing the superstar pitcher back for another season. However, the te
n-time All-Star hasn’t yet told the team if he plans to return. “I think he an
d [his wife] Ellen are going to take some time right now and assess,” the team
president said (relayed by Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic). “The ball’s squarel
y in their court.”
另外也有考虑补野手:指定打击J.D. Martinez、工具人Enrique Hernández、外野手Jason
Heyward以及David Peralta都将成为自由球员。球团会需要找人取代JD马跟Heyward的产能
,也有可能补内野手让Betts能回去右外野。
In addition to starting pitching, Friedman will also look to address position pl
ayer needs during the offseason. The Dodgers had an excellent offense in 2023, f
inishing second in baseball in OPS and runs scored. That said, designated hitter
J.D. Martinez, utility man Enrique Hernández, and outfielders Jason Heyward an
d David Peralta will all be free agents after the conclusion of the World Series
. The team will need to replace Martinez and Heyward’s production in particular
. In addition, the Dodgers might look to add a new infielder so Mookie Betts can
return to a regular role in right field.
躲人总管Brandon Gomes承认红袜想找他去面试不过他拒绝了
Gomes didn’t speak as much as his boss, but he did confirm a report that he dec
lined to interview for the GM opening in Boston. “I’m very flattered and appre
ciate the interest,” he said (per Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register).
“But I love it here, and my family loves it here. I’m passionate about this o
rganization and solely focused on winning multiple championships here.”
