The three words lingered in Max Fried’s mind, days after he had been escorted
on a tour of the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, representing the next step
in the Yankees’ courtship of the touted left-hander. He recounted the sequen
ce of those large letters, printed for all passersby to consume: “Prepare. Co
mpete. Win.”
当阿炸参观完洋基球场之后,他的感想只有三个词:准备、竞争、赢球。(赢球、赢球、
还是他X的赢球?)
Considering his options in the cluttered arena of free agency, that simple man
tra seemed to provide clarity. As he slipped on a pinstriped No. 54 jersey for
the first time, Fried said he was ready to embrace the weight of responsibili
ty and expectations that uniform signifies, confirming that the Bronx is exact
ly where he wants to be.
在众多的追求者当中,当阿炸心中浮现出这样的感想之后,加盟洋基这个决定立刻在他脑
海中变得清晰了起来。记者会上,披上他的54号条纹衣后,他也表明他已经准备好迎接外
界对于他的期许以及承担相对应的责任。并且也再次重申了他很想为洋基投球。
“When I get out there, I’m going to leave everything out there and compete t
o the best of my abilities,” Fried said. “The one thing that we’re out here
to do is to win. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the Yankees and pa
rt of this organization.”
阿炸说:“一旦我走上投手丘,我就一定会全力以赴。我们来这里只为了一件事:赢球。
我非常开心也非常期待能够成为洋基的一份子。”
Fried, 30, was formally introduced on Wednesday in a Yankee Stadium news confe
rence, eight days after agreeing to an eight-year, $218 million contract that
represents the largest deal ever issued to a left-handed pitcher, and the four
th largest for any pitcher.
洋基在昨天帮今年刚满30的阿炸举行了加盟记者会,在双方签署了一份8y/218M的合约之
后。这份合约也是左投手有史以来的最大张合约,并且是所有投手中第四大张的合约。
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman described Fried as a “warrior on the mo
und” and a “genuine, down-to-earth human being” outside the lines
