Word is, the Astros and Justin Verlander are “far apart” in talks. Verlander s
eeks $130 million for three years (the Max Scherzer deal), and the Astros, with
their deep rotation, seem pessimistic on Verlander, which may open things up for
the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees.
“Quietly, they prefer not to sign him for three years. Verlander was great in-s
eason but they carried him in the postseason,” one person familiar with the Ast
ros’ thinking said. “No one [in Houston] wants to go three [years],” another
source adds.
太空人目前和Justin Verlander双方差距很多
后者想要薛蛇的合约，但前者不想要给三年
2.
While Jacob deGrom still appears to be the Mets’ top choice, and they’d likely
go three years for him at close to $40 million per, word is the Mets are “temp
ted” by a Verlander-Scherzer reunion. They aim to sign one among deGrom, Verlan
der and Carlos Rodon, plus one or two more starters.
虽然地瓜仍是梅子的头号目标
但它们对于让Verlander、Scherzer重聚也有兴趣
他们目标是地瓜、V老、罗东签一位

Willson Contreras’ most likely landing spots: Astros or Cardinals. The Marlins
checked in but he’s pricey.
Willson Contreras最有可能落点:太空人或是红雀
而马林鱼也是有兴趣，但Contreras很贵
4.
Christian Vazquez may be Plan B for the Cardinals, and he, too, has a nice marke
t
Christian Vazquez可能是红雀没抢到Willson Contreras的B计画
5.
The Astros also seek a corner outfielder, and if Michael Brantley proves healthy
, he’s the “perfect fit and value.”
太空人也在寻求角落外野手
而如果Michael Brantley健康的话，将是最合适的人选
6.
The Orioles are checking on top shortstops, but with the need less than overwhel
ming, and bigger market teams involved, it’s more likely they sign starting pit
chers.
金莺有在看FA顶级SS
但它们比较有可能要去签SP
7.
The center-field market is thin, and Pirates star Bryan Reynolds’ value has onl
y risen. While it remains unlikely he will be dealt, the Pirates would listen. T
hey are said “open-minded,” but the timing is off, as they’d like to take a s
tep forward now.
市面上的中外野手很少
所以海盗Bryan Reynolds价值只增不减
但海盗不太可能卖
8.
The Mets’ Plan B in center field for now is moving Starling Marte there.
梅子中外野的B计画是把Starling Marte移防过去
