The Boston Red Sox are in rough shape, and chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom
knows the challenge ahead.
波士顿红袜队目前的状况并不好，而现任球队总管Chaim Bloom也知道挑战就在
前方。
"This isn't what any of us want," Bloom told The Boston Globe on Sunday.
"There's a lot of work to do."
Bloom接受当地媒体"环球报"时表示︰“这不是我们任何(红袜队的人)想要的(状况
)，所以未来还有很多工作要做。”
The Red Sox (6-16) have lost seven straight and have the worst record in the
American League. They have started 11 different pitchers in just 22 games
this season. That roster instability was evident early on.
红袜队打了超过20场比赛后，不但只拿到6胜、正在经历七连败的低潮，甚至还是
美国离盟战绩最差的球队。事实上，球员阵容的不稳定很明显是红袜今年开季的
隐忧，而至今22场比赛动用到11位不同的投手也证明了这一点。
Boston lost ace Chris Sale to injury and presumed Opening Day starter Eduardo
Rodriguez to COVID-19 complications and dealt David Price to the Los Angeles
Dodgers as part of a deal that also sent out MVP outfielder Mookie Betts.
这里也顺便补充今年无法为红袜效力的几位球员(与原因)︰
1.王牌投手Chris Sale–左手肘受伤开刀
2.投手Eduardo Rodriguez–罹患新冠肺炎(即武汉肺炎)后心脏有后遗症
3.投手David Price与野手Mookie Betts–被交易到道奇
"Obviously the results have not been what we wanted," Bloom said. "We knew
that we were down a couple of pitchers and that this was going to be an area
of our team that was a work in progress, and certainly we've gotten really
poor results so far."
Bloom在访问中还讲了一段话︰“很明显的，今年这个结果并不是我们想要的。
我们有预期到开季时损失了投手是个问题，也知道这会是重建期的一部分，
但很明显的，我们现阶段的成绩还是很惨！”
With their season in a tailspin, Bloom acknowledged the Red Sox are likely to
be sellers at this year's trade deadline.
随着红袜球季已经陷入混乱，Bloom也知道球队很有可能是今年交易大限的卖家。
"From Day 1 here, I felt like long-term sustainability needed to be a really
important priority here," said Bloom, who is in his first year with the
organization. "How we started, you have to weigh that in. We want to compete,
but we have to prioritize our big-picture goals."
今年才加入红袜管理阶层的Bloom接着又说︰“从我来到这的第一天，就感觉(为
球队)建立长期的持续性，会是我在这里最重要的工作；所以你们(指记者或球迷
)必须要从‘我们如何开始’的角度，来衡量球队的发展。我们是很想要有竞争
力，但也要以大方向做为优先。”
