Report: Mariners could bring back right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma
水兵有可能找回岩隈久志....
Could the Mariners and Hisashi Iwakuma give it one more try?
水兵跟岩隈久志有可能再续前缘吗?
The veteran right-hander believes it’s a possibility. Speaking to a group of
reporters in Kyodo, Japan, Iwakuma said that the team has offered him an
opportunity to return to the organization.
岩隈久志，这右投老将认为那是有可能的。之前岩隈久志在日本京都接受访问时说，水兵
有提供机会给他，让他重返水兵。
“It’s not a done deal, but I have received an offer,” he told reporters.
“还没有确定，但是我有收到报价，”他跟记者说到。
It was the first time that Iwakuma has spoken to the media since he became a
free agent. He didn’t provide any further details of the situation or the
contract offer.
这是岩隈久志成为FA后第一次跟记者讲话，他没有说到更多的细节，或是合约内容。
Given his age and his injury issues, particularly this past season, it’s
difficult to see the Mariners offering Iwakuma anything more than a minor
league contract with an invitation to spring training or a “split contract”
that’s a minor league deal with a certain amount of money guaranteed and
locked-in incentives if he were to be placed on the 25-man roster.
基于他的年纪跟伤病史，特别是去年一季，水兵顶多大概给岩隈久志小联盟约然后有春训
的邀请；抑或是"分割合约"(Split contract，不太知道怎么翻比较到位)，那会是一个小
联盟约，有保证薪，然后若是进入轮值25名单时，会有激励金。
Iwakuma, 36, made six starts in 2017, going 0-2 with a 4.35 ERA with 16
strikeouts and 12 walks. He went on the 10-day disabled list on May 10 with
shoulder inflammation and never pitched again. He made numerous attempts to
come back, including two rehab starts in mid-June. But the shoulder never
bounced back from the outings. He finally underwent surgery on Sept. 28.
岩隈久志，36岁，2017年出场6场，战绩0-2，ERA 4.35，16次三振，12次保送。五月10日
时因肩伤上了10天DL，就没再出场过了。他尝试了很多次想回归，包括了六月中的两次复
健赛，但是从来没真正成功。九月28日，他终于接受了手术。
He told reporters he wasn’t sure when he would be back and ready to pitch,
but hoped to be ready by the start of the season.
岩隈久志告诉记者他不确定何时可以回来，准备好可以投球；但是他希望可以在球季开始
前可以准备好。
Based on the free agent contract he signed before the 2016 season, Iwakuma
had a $15 million club option for 2018 that vested automatically if he
reached 162 innings in 2017 or 324 innings combined between 2016-17. He
pitched just 31 innings this season so the option didn’t vest. The Mariners
wisely chose not to exercise the option and will pay Iwakuma a $1 million
buyout.
在2016年岩隈久志签的约，他若是在2017年投满162局或是2016到2017合并投满324局，他
会有1500万镁的球队选择权自动生效。但是，他这季只投了31局，所以这选择权就没了。
所以，水兵明智的没有动用选择权，将会花100万镁买断他的合约。
This probably isn’t the type of pitching addition that fans are craving. But
teams bring in veterans every year at spring training on minor league deals
with opt outs. Bringing back Iwakuma on a split or minor league deal would be
a courtesy to a player that has been nothing but professional in his time
with the Mariners. It would be minimal risk move in terms of dollars with
some future potential for upside or depth.
岩隈久志这种投手大概不会是水兵粉很想要的那种，但是球团常会在每年春训的时候找一
些老将，给他们小联盟约，然后有选择权不续。借由分割合约或是小联盟合约把岩隈久志
找回来，对于一个的职业生涯都在水兵的球员是一种礼貌。对球团来说，风险极小，可以
不用担心花太多钱，但是有可能找到战力的补强。
Iwakuma has spent all six years of his MLB career with the Mariners, posting
a 63-39 record and 3.42 ERA in 136 starts and 14 relief appearances.
岩隈久志六年在水兵，战绩63-39，ERA 3.42，136次先发，14次后援。
He was adamant that he planned to continue pitching in the future.
岩隈久志很认真的计画在将来继续投球。
