Bobby Evans fired as San Francisco Giants general manager
巨人开除总管Bobby Evans
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bobby Evans was fired Monday as the San Francisco
Giants' general manager.
Bobby Evans在星期一的时候被解除他的球队总管一职。
The team said Evans will be reassigned, with responsibilities to be
determined.
球团表示Evans会被重新指派工作，但是未决定是什么样的职责。
The move came as the Giants began the final week of the season at 72-84,
their second straight losing record.
在正规赛最后一周，战绩72-84，连续两季的失败，球团开始了动作。
"I made the decision, really," CEO Larry Baer said. "At this point, we needed
to take a fresh approach to baseball operations."
“我下了这个决定，真的，”巨人CEO Larry Baer说。“到了这个关头，我们需要在球队
营运方面有个全新的举措。”
The club will start a search for a new head of baseball operations.
巨人球团会开始找寻新的人来领导球队营运。
"We're looking for someone that sort of is the 'next gen' general manager, if
you will," Baer said.
“按照现在的说法，我们所要找的人会是那种"新一代"的总管，”Baer说。
"People will say 'new school versus old school,' people will say 'analytics
versus scouting,' and I think that the new, next-generation general manager
is able to do both, and will bring both to the mix."
“人们在说"新思维vs旧方法"，或是说"分析棒球vs球探报告"，但是我认为"新一代"的总
管要能两种都会，可以将两者融合在一起。”
Evans was hired by the Giants in 1994, became vice president of baseball
operations in 2009 under general manager Brian Sabean and was promoted to GM
in April 2015 when Sabean became executive vice president of baseball
operations.
Evans是在1994年进入巨人队，在2009年在原本总管Brian Sabean麾下担任球团营运副总
裁，在2015年Sabean成为球团营运执行副总裁后提升成为巨人总管。
"He's a big part of our family tree," Sabean said. "I came into the
organization in '93 and I believe Bobby shortly thereafter in '94. We've not
only grown together in endeavors professionally with the Giants, we've grown
together as people and it's a big part of your lifetime."
“他在我们球团大家庭里占有很大一部分，”Sabean说。“我在1993年进入巨人，他在隔
年1994也进来了。我们不只在专业领域上一起成长，我们在个人方面也是一起茁壮，这在
我们两个人生占了很长一段时间。”
The Giants won World Series championships in 2010, 2012 and 2014. They made
the playoffs again in 2016, but are 166-224 since taking a major league-best
57-33 record into the All-Star break that year.
巨人在2010，2012跟2014年分别拿下三座世界大赛冠军。2016年也打进季后赛，那年在进
明星赛前的战绩是57-33，联盟最佳，但是从那之后就是一路下滑，战绩是166-224。
Baer said the team is open to female candidates.
Baer说球队目前对于女性候选人也是持开放态度。
"Sure," he responded. "I haven't considered anybody yet, since we're just
making this announcement now, but we would consider, of course, females."
“当然，”他回复说。“我目前心里还没有人选，因为我们也才刚公布这件事。但是，当
然我们也会考虑女性候选人。”
Baer deflected the notion that the Giants were blaming Evans for their recent
struggles.
Baer对于巨人球团把战绩不佳归咎给Evans的想法并不同意。
"Brian Sabean and Bobby Evans at the helm over 26 years, I would match their
record with pretty much anybody in the sport and even beyond the sport," Baer
said. "So when we start talking about blame and start talking about that kind
of thing, I mean I understand the question . you want to blame the last year
and this year to some extent, but I don't step back and think of this in
terms of blame, I think of this in terms of it's been an incredible run, an
incredible journey, but it is time now to create the next — to create the
blueprint of the future."
“Brian Sabean跟Bobby Evans在制服组位置已经26年了，他们的纪录摊开来可以跟运动界
的任何人，或是运动界以外的任何人匹敌，”Baer说。“所以当讲到是谁的错造成现在的
状况这一类的事情，我的意思是说我知道大家的疑问，大家想要找人为去年或今年的战绩
负起一定的责任，但是我认为过去两年是个不可思议的两年，不可思议的旅程。但是，现
在到了一个要创造下一个不可思议
