But in conversations and interviews with general managers, executives and agents
the past week, they are boldly predicting that the hot stove is about to become
enflamed after Thanksgiving, with a flurry of trades, and marquee free agent si
gnings filling the days and nights at the annual baseball winter meetings beginn
ing Dec. 8 in Dallas.
上周和联盟总管/经纪人聊过后
他们都预测FA市场将在感恩节后开始热起来
冬季会议上将有很多FA签约
“It’s not going to be like a year ago when the winter meetings were an embarra
ssment," one prominent agent said. “Nothing happened... This year is different.
Everyone is much more aggressive, or at least they’re acting like it."
一位经纪人表示去年的现象今年将不再发生
表示各球队都很积极
The same mantra is being repeated by teams and executives, saying that all but p
erhaps just the Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins have playoff dreams dancing
in their heads. But there's a question they are all asking among themselves.
“Who has the money, and who doesn’t?" one GM said. “Everyone is talking a big
game, but no one really knows for sure. We’re about to find out."
球团人士也是同样看法
There really are only four teams that are seriously in play for Soto: The Mets,
the Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.
Soto的认真玩家有四队
梅子
洋基
蓝鸟
红袜
The Los Angeles Dodgers just won a World Series without Soto, and it wasn’t muc
h of an inconvenience to drive through traffic across town, and meet with Soto a
nd agent Scott Boras. The meeting helps perhaps drives the price up for Soto, an
d even more important, puts a little pressure on outfielder Teoscar Hernandez in
to re-signing with them.
躲人只是想施压给Teoscar Hernandez
要他赶快续约而已
Oh, and after all of speculation that the Philadelphia Phillies are involved in
the Soto sweepstakes?
They haven’t had a single conversation with Boras to express interest in Soto.
至于费城人是完全没谈
The Mets are the clear-cut favorite, executives say, simply because they don’t
believe there’s a soul who will outbid owner Steve Cohen, while Yankees have a
price in mind that they don’t want to exceed.
目前是看好梅子
The Houston Astros would love to have Alex Bregman back on a six-year deal worth
about $156 million, but Bregman is seeking a deal worth at least $200 million.
太空人很乐意用六年156M价码带回Alex Bregman
但他想要200M
The Baltimore Orioles, after being bounced out of the playoffs in the first roun
d the past two seasons, are being much more aggressive in talks with agents and
clubs after their passive trade deadline approach in 2024.
