deadline’s big prize
Tarik Skubal交易内幕:道奇队如何拿下交易截止日的大奖
By Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo

LOS ANGELES — On Sunday night, Tarik Skubal stood in the dugout, wearing
Dodger blue. He hugged Dave Roberts, his new manager, and he smiled. Less
than 24 hours earlier, a blockbuster trade sent Skubal to Los Angeles, where
he will now take his place among its lavish collection of stars.
洛杉矶──周日晚上,Tarik Skubal 身穿道奇蓝球衣站在球员休息区内。他拥抱了他的新
总教练 Dave Roberts,并露出了微笑。就在不到 24 小时前,一笔重磅交易将 Skubal 送
到了洛杉矶,如今他将在这支星光熠熠的阵容中占有一席之地。
The reigning back-to-back American League Cy Young Award winner was the
deadline’s biggest prize. The reigning back-to-back World Series winners are
a juggernaut. Skubal was the only player Los Angeles targeted ahead of Monday
’s deadline. The whole thing — the trade on Saturday night, the scene that
followed Sunday — it all felt inevitable.
这位卫冕美联赛扬奖二连霸得主是交易大限前最受瞩目的头号大奖。而这支卫冕世界大赛
二连霸的球队则是一支实力坚强的劲旅。Skubal 是洛杉矶在周一交易大限前唯一的补强目
标。整件事──从周六晚上的交易,到周日随之而来的景象──一切感觉都是那么地顺理
成章。
Right?
对吧?
“There’s nothing that we did that no one else couldn’t have done,”
Roberts said Sunday.
“我们所做的事情,没有哪支球队是做不到的,”Roberts 在周日表示。
But could have done and would have done are different, and while rival teams
found themselves on one side of that equation once more, the Dodgers once
again demonstrated their comfort with being on the other.
但“能力上做得到”与“实际上愿意做”是两回事。当其他竞争对手再次发现自己处于天
平的那一端时,道奇队则再一次展现了他们对于处于天平另一端的游刃有余。
The Dodgers pried Skubal and his remarkable changeup away from the Detroit
Tigers with a package that included two of the top 70 prospects in the sport
— outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-hander River Ryan. They also sent Brady
Smith, a well-regarded right-hander, to Detroit. That return was in line with
expectations, given Skubal’s status as a free-agent-to-be this winter.
道奇队以一份包裹交易筹码,从底特律老虎队手中挖走了 Skubal 与他那令人惊叹的变速
球,筹码中包含全美前 70 大新秀中的两位──外野手 Zyhir Hope 与右投手 River Ryan
。他们同时也将评价极高的右投手 Brady Smith 送往底特律。鉴于 Skubal 今冬即将成为
自由球员的身分,这样的交易回报符合预期。
“I think (it’s) the benefit of having a lot of really talented players,”
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Sunday, shortly
after the trade was made official. “We had a lot of guys that they liked.”
“我认为(这是)拥有众多天赋异禀球员的好处,”道奇队棒球营运总裁(president
of baseball operations)Andrew Friedman 在交易正式生效后不久于周日表示。“我们
手中有许多他们感兴趣的人选。”
In truth, not even the Dodgers were sold on their chances ahead of the
Saturday night trade. Friedman prefers to refrain from these types of
deadline megadeals, citing the substantial premium to acquire key players
this time of year. But if Friedman was going to change his calculus, it was
going to be for Skubal only.
事实上,在周六晚上的交易达成之前,连道奇队自己都没有百分之百的把握。Friedman
通常倾向于避免在交易大限前进行这类型的超大型交易,理由是每年这个时候要引进关键
球员都必须付出极高昂的溢价。但如果 Friedman 决定改变他的考量,那目标只会是
Skubal。
“We were of the mind to be aggressive for one player this deadline,”
Friedman said. “Fortunately, we were able to line up.”
“我们在这个交易大限前的想法,就是只为了一位球员全力展现侵略性,”Friedman 说
。“幸运的是,我们最终成功对齐了彼此的需求。”
The Dodgers adopted a more expansive approach this deadline, placing even
more value on the opinions of their pro scouts and internal talent
evaluators. The vast majority of executives flew to Los Angeles ahead of
their all-hands meetings on Friday morning. The group was beginning to wrap
up their meeting Saturday evening when the Tigers called, saying they wanted
to get the deal done that night.
道奇队在这次交易大限采取了更为广泛开放的做法,更加重视他们的职业球探(pro
scouts)以及内部天赋评估人员(internal talent evaluators)的意见。绝大多数的高
阶主管在周五早上的全员会议前就已飞抵洛杉矶。周六傍晚,当团队准备结束会议时,老
虎队打来了电话,表示希望能在当晚完成交易。
The Dodgers compiled a few potential packages, resulting in an end vote.
Ultimately, the package of Hope, Ryan and Smith became the offer. The Dodgers
could do nothing else but wait.
道奇队整理出几套潜在的交易包裹,并进行了最终投票。最终,由 Hope、Ryan 和
Smith 组成的包裹成为了最终出价。道奇队接下来能做的,就只有等待。
“I wasn’t that confident,” Friedman said. “I had no idea and was trying
to emotionally hedge. I wasn’t getting too high or too low on it until we
actually found out.”
“我当时并没有那么大的信心,”Friedman 说。“我完全无法预料结果,只能尽力做好
情绪避险。在我们真正得到确切消息之前,我一直克制自己不要情绪过度高涨或低落。”
By the middle of L.A.’s game that night, a 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox,
Friedman and Scott Harris, the Tigers’ president of baseball operations, had
a deal. It seemed, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who
spoke anonymously due to the sensitive nature of the information, the Tigers
simply believed the Dodgers had the most to offer.
在当晚洛杉矶(L.A.)以 3 比 2 输给波士顿红袜队的比赛进行到一半时,Friedman 与老
虎队棒球营运总裁 Scott Harris 达成了协议。据一位因资讯敏感而要求匿名的知情人士
透露,老虎队纯粹是认为道奇队提供了最有价值的筹码。
“I felt like we were being really aggressive and that we put some really
talented players on the table, so I felt like that gave us a really good
chance,” Friedman said.
“我觉得我们展现出了极大的诚意与侵略性,而且我们摆在谈判桌上的都是极具天赋的球
员,所以我觉得这给了我们非常好的机会,”Friedman 说。
It is hard to match a farm system like the one Los Angeles has cultivated,
one that is consistently regarded as top five in the sport. It is built to
absorb deals such as this — and it is a testament to the organization’s pro
scouting and player development departments, which the team continues to
heavily invest in.
很难有其他球队能媲美洛杉矶所培育出的农场系统,该系统长期被公认为全联盟前五名。
它的建立就是为了能够承受这类型的交易──这同时也是该组织长期重金投资职业球探部
门(pro scouting department)与球员发展部门(player development department)的
最佳证明。
“Our scouting staff, our player development staff, our front office,
analytics group, all of our different departments have their fingerprints all
over this,” Friedman said. “To put us in position to not only be
competitive here but also to have a really strong farm system, which then
puts us in position to be able to have these types of conversations.”
“我们的球探团队、球员发展团队,管理层、数据分析小组,我们所有的不同部门都对此
付出了汗水与贡献,”Friedman 表示。“这不仅让我们能在当前保持强大的竞争力,同时
还拥有一支极其坚实的农场系统,进而让我们有资格去进行这类型的交易对话。”
The Tigers spent minimal time negotiating with the Tampa Bay Rays, with their
sights seemingly set on that Dodgers’ system, according to league sources
who spoke on the condition of anonymity for their candor on the negotiations.
据因坦率谈论谈判细节而要求匿名的联盟消息人士透露,老虎队与坦帕湾光芒队谈判的时
间非常短,他们的心思似乎完全放在道奇队的农场系统上。
The Milwaukee Brewers, too, have an enviable farm system. But they have
historically never been the type of club to act aggressively at the deadline
on a rental. So Milwaukee — well-run and rolling this season, with an eye
toward October baseball — moves on without adding Skubal in early August.
密尔瓦基酿酒人队同样拥有令人羡慕的农场系统。但从历史上看,他们从不是那种会在交
易大限前对租赁型球员采取激进动作的球队。因此,密尔瓦基──这支本赛季经营有方、
一路顺遂且放眼十月季后赛的球队──在八月初并没有补强 Skubal,选择继续前进。
The Philadelphia Phillies were always considered long shots to land Skubal,
though veteran executive Dave Dombrowski loves to hunt stars. He has a good
preexisting relationship with Harris; they have come together on several
trades in the last four years. And the two men will often talk baseball, even
if it’s not trade-related.
虽然资深高阶主管(veteran executive)Dave Dombrowski 热衷于追逐球星,但费城人队
一直被认为很难争夺到 Skubal。他与 Harris 本身私交甚笃,两人在过去四年中曾多次达
成交易合作。而且就算与交易无关,两人也经常在一起聊棒球。
The Phillies and Tigers, according to league sources, discussed Skubal in
broad strokes. But it is possible the Phillies never made a formal offer.
根据联盟消息人士透露,费城人队和老虎队曾对 Skubal 进行过初步的方向性讨论。但费
城人队可能从未提出过正式的报价。
Hope, according to several rival evaluators, would have rated as the best or
second-best prospect in the Phillies’ system. The Phillies have been willing
to discuss many of their top prospects in trade talks, but not in exchange
for a rental player.
据多位竞争对手的评估人员表示,Hope 若在费城人队的系统中,将会被评为第一或第二
顶尖的新秀。费城人队虽然愿意在交易谈判中讨论他们的许多顶级新秀,但绝非用来换取
一名租赁型球员。
The Chicago Cubs were among the teams to check in on Skubal as they pursued
pitching help — which they got Sunday afternoon in trading for Toronto’s
Kevin Gausman. But club officials anticipated that, in terms of young talent
to offer, another organization would be better positioned, as well as more
motivated to trade for a rental starter of this caliber.
芝加哥小熊队也是寻求投手战力支援并询问过 Skubal 的球队之一──他们在周日下午透
过交易换来多伦多蓝鸟队的 Kevin Gausman 达成了补强目的。但小熊队球团官员预料到
,就可提供的年轻天赋而言,其他球队会具备更好的筹码优势,并且更有强烈的动机去交
易这种级别的租赁型先发投手。
The Cubs also seemed to quickly realize that the price was going to reach a
level they wouldn’t be comfortable going to. Considering their place in the
standings, giving up a prospect who they valued highly was just not something
they’d do for a rental, even one as highly thought of as Skubal.
小熊队似乎也很快意识到,要价将会达到一个令他们感到不适的代价水平。考量到他们在
战绩榜上的位置,送走一名他们极为看重的顶级新秀,并不是他们会为了一名租赁型球员
做的事,哪怕是像 Skubal 这样评价极高的球员亦然。
It’s unclear how far the New York Yankees got with the Tigers in talks with
Skubal, though it is believed they were in touch with each other in recent
days.
目前尚不清楚纽约洋基队与老虎队关于 Skubal 的谈判进展到什么程度,但据信他们近几
天确实保持着联系。
One team decision-maker pointed to how Skubal — and starting pitching, in
general — “wasn’t quite an area of need” for the Yankees, whose offense
has been in the dumps of late.
一位球队决策者指出,对于近期打线表现低迷的洋基队来说,Skubal──乃至于整体的先
发投手战力──“并不是那么迫切需要的补强领域”。
“Obviously, Skubal seemed like he was available the last few days,” Yankees
manager Aaron Boone said. “Not shocked. We know the system the Dodgers had.”
“很明显,Skubal 在过去几天似乎是可以被交易的,”洋基队总教练 Aaron Boone 说。
“这并不令人震惊。我们都很清楚道奇队所拥有的农场系统有多深厚。”
