In our NL Central Winter Meetings primer on Tuesday, I discussed the possibili
ty of Andrew McCutchen being traded by the Pirates. I noted that up to that po
int we'd hadn't heard many strong rumors about it, but that it was still disti
nctly possible.
在礼拜二的国联中区冬季会议上,我讨论了海盗交易McCutchen的可能性，那时我们还没有
收到很可靠的消息，但还是很有可能发生。
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports writes that of all big names to possibly be traded
this offseason, McCutchen "might be the most likely to go."
Then there's this:
@JeffPassan
Sources: Likelihood Andrew McCutchen plays in Pittsburgh in 2017 is dwindling.
As @Ken_Rosenthal said, Pirates almost certain to move him.
2:16 AM - 1 Dec 2016
Ken Rosenthal列出可能会在这个休赛期被交易的大咖，Mutcutchen也许是最有可能被交
易的人选。接着Jeff Passan的这则推特浮出台面：
2017赛季McCutchen继续为海贼打球的可能性越来越小，就像Rosenthal说的一样，海贼几
乎确定要把McCutchen交易走。
McCutchen, 30, is only signed through 2017 ($14M) with a $14.75 million club o
ption for 2018. He's coming off a down year in 2016, as he hit .256/.336/.430
after averaging .313/.404/.523 the previous four seasons. He finished in the t
op five of NL MVP voting each year from 2012-15, winning the hardware in 2013.
McCutchen今年30岁，他签的合约价值14M，到2017年结束，附带价值14.75M的2018赛季球
团选择权。跟他前四个赛季的三围平均.313/.404/.523比起来，他2016赛季的.256/.336/
.430三围表现真的不怎么样。他在2012~2015赛季都在国联MVP候选人名单的前五名内。
We have reason to believe the offensive meltdown was an aberration. Sure, he's
past the late-20s, so there's bound to be regression, but not to this extent.
He played through injuries and had a dreadful first half. Things rebounded a
bit down the stretch. In the last two months, McCutchen hit .284/.381/.471 and
he closed hot (.333/.402/.597) in the final three weeks.
我们有理由相信Muccutchen攻击上的衰退只是失常，当然，他的年纪已经迈入3开头了，
他会回复正常，但不会再创巅峰。他在上半季带伤上阵打得相当地糟糕，之后有表现地较
中规中矩一点，在球季最后两个月，他的三围是.284/.381/.471，并且以火烫的棒子(.33
3/.402/.597为这赛季画下句点。
So anyone who thinks McCutchen wouldn't carry good offensive value isn't payin
g attention or has an agenda. Teams like the Giants, Rangers and Astros immedi
ately come to mind.(Orioles?Nationals?)
所以觉得McCutchen没有发挥攻击实力是没有专注在球场上还是对他的去向有自己的盘算?
一些对伍像是巨人、游骑兵、太空人马上出现在我脑海。(金鸟、国民也有可吧?)
The main concern lies on defense, where McCutchen probably shouldn't be playin
g center anymore. Many would say I'm being nice with the "probably" there, bec
ause he ranked dead last in Defensive Runs Saved at -28 among center fielders.
The next worst was Tyler Naquin at -17. By way of comparison, Kevin Kiermaier
led the majors at +25.
重点在McCutchen的防守，他可能没办法在站中外野了，也许有人会觉得我说他“可能不
会”再站中外野太客气了，因为在所有中外野手中的用守备为球队省下的分数的排名当中
，他的-28惨到吊车尾，倒数第二是笑脸人的Tyler Naquin的-17。顺带一提，第一名是+2
5的Kiermaier。
In Rosenthal's story, he says that sources indicate to him McCutchen doesn't w
ant to move to a corner.
引述自Ken Rosenthal，他说有消息指出McCutchen不想移到左外野或右外野。
One can't help but wonder if McCutchen trade talk is at least partially spurre
d on by this. Starling Marte is an exceptional defender and would work well in
center. The Pirates could then grab a cheaper option than McCutchen to play l
eft field while waiting on highly-touted outfield prospect Austin Meadows (he
hit .214 with a .757 OPS in 37 Triple-A games last year at age 21) to ready hi
mself for the majors.
一个不能明讲但会让人不禁揣测会让McCutchen被交易的理由是这个。Starlin Marte是个
会在中外野闯出一片天的优秀防守专家，Marte去中外野后，海贼还可以用比McCutchen便
宜的球员来补左外野的洞，等到他们的顶级新秀Austin Meadows养成完毕。(他在3A打37
场比赛，打击率.214，OPS.757，21岁)
Meantime, having shed McCutchen's salary, the Pirates could use this money to
shore up other roster holes (pitching depth, for one).
同时，海贼还可以拿McCutchen的薪水来补强其他位置，像是投手阵容的深度。
As for any acquiring team, obviously they would need to hash things out with M
cCutchen if they are planning to move him to left field before consummating a
deal with the Pirates. Things like this happen, though.Trading McCutchen now d
efinitely makes sense for the Pirates and it sounds like we might see that soo
ner rather than later.
对于想要McCutchen的球队来说，在与海贼的交易功德圆满之前，他们必须对于把McCutch
en移去左外野有所对策。把McCutchen交易的确对海贼来说很有可行性，而且可能很快就
会发生喔。
