While trades and free agent signings are extremely rare at these meetings, this
is where the groundwork traditionally starts, only this year feels different, GM
s and executives say.
过往的总管会议， 一般总管都是在做一些前置作业
比较少在这时候就发动交易、敲定自由球员签约
但根据各球团人士透露，今年感觉会不一样
This is the first time, they can remember, where 29 of the 30 teams are actually
trying to win.
他们是第一次感受到，30支球队有29支想赢
The Oakland A’s still are rebuilding and planning to keep payroll as low as pos
sible, but every other team is trying to compete in 2024.
恩对，唯一不想赢的那只是绿帽XD
Everyone just saw an 84-win team reach the World Series, a $60 million team win
the AL East, and the three-highest spending teams sitting home for the playoffs,
and figure, hey, why not us?
他们看到84胜的队伍打进世界大赛
看到60M组成的队伍拿下美东冠军
团队薪资前三的队伍被拒在季后赛大门之外
这让很多球队也想拼拼看
“I’ve never seen anything like it," one GM said. “It’s the first time we’ve
had 29 teams all talking about winning. Every team you talk to wants to be aggr
essive.’’
一位总管表示他以前从未遇到这种氛围
每一只他有交谈的球队都是想赢的
This means the free-agent market will be hot and heavy, with even teams like the
Tampa Bay Rays telling agents they plan to spend this winter.
这也代表这次FA市场会很热
连光芒都告诉经纪人说，他们这休赛季打算花钱了
话说当初他们也有开6yr/$150M给自由人过XD
