Hard-hitting utilityman Steve Pearce appears to be putting the wraps on his
playing days. He tells Rob Bradford of WEEI.com that he’s “unofficially
retired” from baseball.
Steve Pearce宣告他"非正式地"退休了
Pearce surpassed ten years of MLB service last year, as Bradford notes. That
entitles him to a full pension, an achievement that once seemed exceptionally
unlikely. An eighth-round pick in 2005, Pearce made it to the majors with the
Pirates and appeared briefly with the Bucs in five major league campaigns.
But he departed the organization with little fanfare and struggled to find a
new home elsewhere.
Pearce已经累积达10年年资，使他有资格请领全额的退休金
以当初第八轮的顺位来说，要在大联盟生存10年似乎不太可能
生涯从海盗起步
尽管在匹兹堡待了五年，但没留下什么值得颂扬的功绩
Through 2012, Pearce had managed just 709 MLB plate appearances of 82 OPS+
hitting in stints with four clubs. He showed a bit of life in a 44-game
sample in his age-30 season, but still ended up being designated for
assignment early in the ensuing campaign.
到12年为止他生涯只打了709打席，就换过四件球衣
30岁那年虽然在44场比赛打出点内容，但之后还是很快就被DFA
That’s when Pearce morphed from a little-known 4-A player to a sudden star
hitter. He made the unusual decision to reject a late-April claim in order to
return to the O’s after the DFA. And then he raked. Pearce finished the 2014
campaign with a .293/.373/.556 batting line and 21 home runs over 383 plate
appearances.
在被金鸟宣告DFA之后，有球队想捡他进名单
但他为了要重返金鸟而拒绝这次claim
之后就迎来大爆发的赛季
Pearce ultimately appeared in 13 MLB campaigns, logging 2,555 plate
appearances of .254/.332/.440 hitting. There were some peaks and valleys, and
quite a few injury layoffs, along the way. He never once reached 400 plate
appearances in a given season. But Pearce will finish off his career having
produced solidly above-average offensive numbers.
Never regarded much for his glovework, Pearce nevertheless proved capable of
stepping in all over the diamond, allowing teams to shoehorn his bat into the
lineup. He saw action at first base, left field, right field, second base,
and third base (in that order of frequency).
他从未在任何一个赛季打超过400打席，但他仍旧缴出优于平均的效率
而虽然他的手套也不算太可靠
但他还是证明了自己有能力守场上的每一个位置

When he wasn’t working back to health or going through a rough patch, Pearce
provided big output at times for the Orioles, Rays, Blue Jays, and Red Sox.
He also appeared earlier in his career with the Yankees, making him the rare
player to have donned every uniform in a single division. Pearce will no
doubt be remembered most in the long haul for his indelible mark on Boston
sports history, as his three-homer output in the 2018 World Series earned him
an MVP award on the game’s biggest stage.

而他永留在众人心中的印象，无疑是18年在世界大赛敲出3轰
最终帮助红袜夺冠，并获选最高荣耀的世界大赛MVP
Pearce returned to the Red Sox in 2019 but struggled badly before back and
knee injuries wrecked his season. While he isn’t yet ready to file his
paperwork, it seems the 36-year-old won’t actively pursue a job this winter.
That’s plenty understandable, as he’d no doubt need to earn his way onto a
big-league roster on a minor-league deal. Pearce is to be congratulated for
persisting through early-career setbacks and frequent health problems. MLBTR
wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

他不打算在这个冬天积极找工作，或是签下小联盟合约寻求重返球坛
