1.有砸钱给Josh Naylor至少80M以上的合约
Nowhere is that clearer than with the unlikeliest of winter spenders: the Pittsb
urgh Pirates. The largest free agent contract the Pirates have ever handed out w
as more than a decade ago: three years and $39 million to Francisco Liriano. The
y are consistently a bottom-five payroll team. And yet the Pirates were primed t
o spend more than twice that on Josh Naylor before he re-upped with Seattle for
five years and $92.5 million in the first signing of the winter on Sunday night
– and they’re considering other possibilities to supplement Paul Skenes and a
rotation that was among the five best in MLB in the second half.
最明显的例子，就是原本冬天最不可能大手笔花钱的球队之一：匹兹堡海盗
海盗队史上最大张的自由球员合约已经是十多年前的事──3 年3900 万美元的Francisco L
iriano
但尽管如此，海盗原本准备为Josh Naylor砸下超过这个数字两倍以上的报价，结果Naylor
最后在周日晚间以 5 年 9250 万美元与西雅图完成续约──这是今年冬天的第一笔签约
而海盗也正在考虑其他补强方案，希望在Skenes之外，进一步强化他们今年下半季表现名列
MLB 前五的先发轮值
2.考虑让Konnor Griffin直接上来
The most exciting: The Pirates are strongly considering giving 19-year-old Konno
r Griffin, the consensus minor league player of the year in 2025, the opportunit
y to win their big league shortstop job, sources told ESPN.
最令人兴奋的是：消息人士向 ESPN 透露，海盗正在积极考虑给 19 岁的Konnor Griffin─
─2025 年一致认定的年度小联盟最佳球员，角逐大联盟游击手先发位置的机会
3.加入洗碗伯争夺战
The demand for Schwarber is high, which is no surprise considering he won’t get
more than a five-year deal because of his age and positional inflexibility as a
full-time designated hitter. Of course, when you hit like Schwarber, neither ag
e nor position matters. Teams have made that abundantly clear, all the way from
the obvious suitors (the Philadelphia Phillies are fiending to re-sign him) and
the not-so-obvious (yes, Pittsburgh is in on Schwarber as well).
Schwarber非常热门，这毫不令人意外，毕竟以他的年纪与守备位置受限（基本上是专职指
定打击），他不可能拿到超过五年的合约
当然如果你能像Schwarber那样打击，年纪与守位根本不是问题，球队们相当清楚这点──
从显而易见的追求者（费城费城人迫切想把他留下），到那些不那么明显的球队（没错匹兹
堡海盗也在追他）
