Rivals refuse to criticize spending. 道奇正在毁掉棒球吗？对手拒绝批评他们的花钱方式 PHOENIX — They are hated. They are loved. They are ruining baseball. They are great for baseball. They are the Los Angeles Dodgers. 凤凰城（PHOENIX）── 他们被憎恨。 他们被喜爱。 他们正在毁掉棒球。 他们对棒球来说是好事。 他们就是洛杉矶道奇队。 The Dodgers will open their spring training camp on Friday morning at Camelback Ranch as the first team in more than a quarter-century as repeat World Series champions, and the first in baseball history to have a payroll exceeding $400 million, $406.5 million to be exact. 道奇队将於周五早上在 Camelback Ranch 展开春训营。这支球队成为超过25年来第一支 完成世界大赛连霸的球队，同时也是棒球史上第一支薪资总额超过4亿美元的球队，确切数 字为4.065亿美元。 If you include their estimated luxury tax penalties, their payroll will exceed $550 million. 如果再加上他们预估需缴纳的豪华税罚款，他们的总支出将超过5.5亿美元。 Their payroll is so immense that their mere luxury tax penalties is greater than the entire payroll of 10 teams. 他们的薪资规模庞大到一个程度，光是豪华税罚金，就已经超过10支球队的整体薪资总额 。 Why, if you consider the 110% tax penalty they’re paying for new right fielder Kyle Tucker’s $60 million annual salary, their tax bill is greater than the payroll of the Milwaukee Brewers, who won a major league-leading 97 games last season. 举例来说，由於新任右外野手 Kyle Tucker 年薪6000万美元，道奇必须支付110%的税率罚 金，仅这笔税金，就已经超过密尔瓦基酿酒人队的全队薪资。酿酒人上季还拿下大联盟最 多的97胜。 They are Exhibit 1-A for why the owners want a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement, and while they are willing to shut down the sport to obtain it. 他们正是「为什麽老板们想在下一份劳资协议中加入薪资上限」的最佳案例。而且，为了 争取这项制度，球团老板们甚至愿意不惜让整个联盟停摆。 Oh, and just in case the non-Dodger fans aren’t angry enough, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had a proclamation on Feb. 12 that will have them screaming into the night and flooding MLB fan sites. 喔，还有一件事──如果非道奇迷还不够生气的话，道奇队总教练 Dave Roberts 在 2 月 12 日的一段宣告，肯定会让他们气到对着夜空怒吼，并涌入各大 MLB 球迷网站洗版。 "This team, looking at the guys in their prime, the experience, the talent, the starters, the pen, the depth of the young players that we have coming behind them on the pitching side," Roberts said, "this probably is the best team we’ve had on paper yet." 「看看这支球队，正值巅峰的球员、累积的经验、天赋、先发投手、牛棚，以及在投手端 持续接上的年轻战力，」Roberts 说，「就帐面战力而言，这大概是我们有过最强的一支 球队。」 Yep, once again the Dodgers will treat the regular season as a dress rehearsal for their gala performance in October, using a six-man pitching staff in which $1 billion worth of players — Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto — likely will pitch just once a week. 没错，又一次，道奇队会把例行赛当成 10 月盛大演出的彩排。他们将采用六人轮值先发 ，其中总值高达 10 亿美元的两名球员──大谷翔平与山本由伸──很可能一周只登板投 一次。 What other team in baseball has the resources to make two free-agent blunders with closer Tanner Scott and outfielder Michael Conforto in free agency a year ago, and then replace them with the best player on the free-agent market in Tucker, and the best reliever on the market in Edwin Diaz? 棒球界还有哪支球队，能够在一年前自由市场上，先後在终结者 Tanner Scott 与外野手 Michael Conforto 身上犯下两次失误，却仍有资源在之後补进自由市场上最好的球员 Kyle Tucker，以及市场上最顶级的後援投手 Edwin Díaz？ Indeed, the best team in baseball got even better. 事实上，原本就已是全联盟最强的球队，如今变得更加强大。 "When we played them in the playoffs last year," Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona said, "I didn’t know whether to try to get them out or get their autographs. They just keep running guys at you. 「去年季後赛跟他们交手时，」辛辛那提红人队总教练 Terry Francona 说，「我都不知 道自己该想办法把他们解决出局，还是乾脆跟他们要签名。他们就是不断把一个又一个狠 角色推到你面前。」 "I don’t blame them. They’re trying to win, and they’ve got the resources to do it. I’m just glad we’re in a different division." 「我不怪他们。他们只是想赢球，而且也有资源去做到这件事。我只是庆幸我们在不同分 区。」 Really, it’s similar to the same mantra heard throughout the land during the Yankees’ dynasty and their payroll. Where was the outcry when Atlanta won 14 consecutive division titles? Did the Oakland A’s ruin baseball during the Charlie Finley days? 事实上，这种说法，和当年洋基王朝时期、拥有庞大薪资时，全美各地听到的论调如出一 辙。当亚特兰大勇士连续14年拿下分区冠军时，抗议声浪在哪里？在 Charlie Finley 时 代，奥克兰运动家曾经称霸联盟时，难道也毁掉了棒球吗？ “You always have to have somebody that teams and fans enjoy disliking,’’ Roberts said, “and that’s good for sports. I was one of those guys that didn ’t like the Yankees, but saw their value within the sport, certainly. 「你总是需要有一个，让其他球队和球迷喜欢讨厌的对象，」Roberts 说，「这对运动来 说其实是好事。我以前就是那种不喜欢洋基队的人之一，但我也看得出他们对这项运动的 价值。」 “I think what gets lost is all of the things that we do well, the scouting and player development, I think we do as good as anyone in baseball, and all of that to get superstars to play well every night, to put out a good product every single night. 「我认为常常被忽略的是，我们做对了很多事情，包括球探系统与球员养成。我觉得我们 在这方面，跟联盟任何球队相比都不逊色。这一切，都是为了让超级球星每晚都能发挥， 让我们每天都能端出高品质的比赛内容。」 “But when you’re talking about the Yankees, if you be put in the same vein of the Yankees in the 90s, you’re doing something right?’’ 「而且，当你被拿来跟 1990 年代的洋基队相提并论时，那代表你一定做对了什麽事情， 对吧？」 While MLB is using the Dodgers to argue for a salary cap, and fans will either scream at the Dodgers for their payroll or bash their own ownership for not spending, general managers and players surveyed in the Cactus League refuse to criticize the Dodgers’ extravagant spending. 当 MLB 利用道奇队作为推动薪资上限（salary cap）的论据时，球迷不是对道奇的薪资结 构怒吼，就是痛骂自家老板不肯花钱。然而，在 Cactus League 受访的总管与球员们，却 普遍拒绝批评道奇奢华的花费方式。 They might be jealous over the Dodgers’ resources, but they rave about the Dodgers’ front office and coaching staff, recognize their ability to scout and develop players, and praise the way they play the game. 他们或许会羡慕道奇队雄厚的资源，但同时也高度赞赏道奇的管理层与教练团，认可他们 在球探与球员培养上的能力，并称赞他们打球的方式与球队文化。 “They’re the juggernauts of the major leagues right, but you’re not going to fault the team for spending money,’’ Brewers ace Brandon Woodruff told USA TODAY Sports. “As a player, that’s what you want to see. So why would anyone get mad at them for spending money. I mean, if they can do it, they can do it. 「他们现在就是大联盟的重型卡车，但你不可能因为一支球队愿意花钱就去责怪他们，」 密尔瓦基酿酒人队王牌投手 Brandon Woodruff 接受 USA TODAY Sports 采访时表示。「 身为球员，你其实就希望看到这种情况。所以为什麽有人要因为他们花钱而生气？我是说 ，如果他们做得到，那他们就去做。」 “They have good players, and a lot of money, but what’s so impressive about them is that they play the game the right way. You go play them, and you see all of these superstars ... Freddie Freeman, Mookie [Betts] and those guys, and they’re all out doing early work. They put in their work. 「他们有好球员，也有很多钱，但最令人印象深刻的是，他们用正确的方式在打球。你去 跟他们比赛时，会看到这些超级球星……像 Freddie Freeman 、Mookie Betts 这些人 ，都在提早到场加练，认真准备。」 “They just don’t show up when the game starts. They’re good, but they put their work in. You’ve got to respect them.’’ 「他们不是比赛开始才出现。他们很强，但也真的付出了努力。这一点，你必须尊敬他们 。」 What folks conveniently forget is that while the Dodgers are consistently picking last or next-to-last in the draft, they still are a team filled with homegrown stars, from catcher Will Smith to recently retired Clayton Kershaw, and they used their own prospects to trade for All-Star shortstop Mookie Betts, infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman and starter Tyler Glasnow. 许多人很容易忽略的一点是：尽管道奇队长年在选秀中几乎都是最後一顺位或倒数第二顺 位，他们的阵容依然充满自家培养的球星，从捕手 Will Smith 到近期退休的 Clayton Kershaw 。而且，他们也利用自家新秀资产，换回了全明星游击手 Mookie Betts、内外野 手 Tommy Edman ，以及先发投手 Tyler Glasnow 。 Sure, their enormous resources allow them to supplement their roster with whatever free agents they desire, enabling them to retain their own prospects without having to trade them away, but a team like the New York Mets have spent more than the Dodgers the past five years and are still seeking their first World Series title since 1986. 当然，他们庞大的资源，让他们能随心所欲补进想要的自由球员，也因此可以保留自家新 秀，而不必被迫交易出去。但像纽约大都会队这样的球队，在过去五年花的钱比道奇还多 ，至今仍在寻找自 1986 年以来的第一座世界大赛冠军。 “Hey, it’s not necessarily who has the best players, but who plays the best, ’’ Los Angeles Angels GM Perry Minasian said. “Anybody can beat anyone on any given night. That’s the beauty of baseball. It’s 162 games. There are no Cinderella stories in 162 games. You have to earn it. 「嘿，重点不一定是谁拥有最好的球员，而是谁打得最好，」洛杉矶天使队总经理 Perry Minasian 说。「任何一个晚上，任何球队都可能击败对手。这就是棒球的美妙之处。这是 一个 162 场比赛的赛季，在 162 场里，没有什麽灰姑娘故事。你必须靠实力去争取。」 “They’ve earned it.’’ 「而他们，已经靠实力证明了一切。」 Said J.J. Picollo, Kansas City Royals president of baseball operations: “They ’ve done this strategically, and have done it well. They’re capitalizing on things that are perfectly within what’s permitted. What they’re doing is fascinating, and it’s really impressive.’’ 堪萨斯市皇家队棒球营运总裁 J.J. Picollo 表示：「他们是有策略地在做这件事，而且 做得非常好。他们充分利用了所有规则允许的空间。他们现在的操作方式令人着迷，也真 的让人印象深刻。」 Chris Young, Texas Rangers president of baseball operations, added: “Whether somebody is having a problem with what they’re doing and questioning whether or not it’s good for the game, are two different things in my opinion. What they’re doing is completely within the rules. They’ve operated with the resources they have in a tremendous matter.’’ 德州游骑兵队棒球营运总裁 Chris Young 也补充说：「在我看来，有人对他们的做法感到 不满，和质疑这样做是否对棒球有益，其实是两回事。他们所做的一切完全符合规则，而 且他们用自己拥有的资源，进行了非常出色的经营。」 Really, if you want to feel sorry for anyone, you can sympathize with the other four teams in the NL West, particularly the San Diego Padres. The Padres have been to the postseason in four of the past six years, winning 183 games the past two seasons, but the Dodgers are that roadblock that keeps them from greatness. 说真的，如果你想同情谁，那大概只能同情国联西区另外四支球队，尤其是圣地牙哥教士 队。教士队在过去六年中有四度打进季後赛，最近两季更赢了 183 场比赛，但道奇队始终 是那道阻挡他们迈向伟大的高墙。 Yep, just like the days when no matter what the Boston Red Sox did, the Yankees stood in their way. 没错，就像当年一样──不管波士顿红袜队做得多好，纽约洋基队总是挡在他们面前。 “The difference between the Yankees teams and the Dodgers is the financial component of it,’’ said A.J. Preller, Padres president of baseball operations. “I mean, you’re talking over $500 million, and all of the deferrals. So that’s a different level. 教士队棒球营运总裁 A.J. Preller 说：「洋基王朝和道奇队之间最大的差别，在於财务 层面。我是说，他们的支出超过 5 亿美元，还包含大量延迟支付。那已经是另一个层级了 。」 “But we understand they’re a great team. They’ve got star players that are impactful. They just set up super high bars. If you want to get to that championship level, you’ve got to get past them.’’ 「但我们知道他们是一支非常优秀的球队。他们拥有具备影响力的明星球员，而且把标准 设得非常高。」「如果你想要达到冠军等级，就必须先跨过他们这一关。」 Year after year after year. 一年又一年，又一年。 So you can complain, can get mad and can scream, but in the end, the Dodgers ’ rivals will tell you that there is respect, like it or not. 所以，你可以抱怨、可以生气、可以大声怒吼，但到头来，道奇队的对手都会告诉你── 不管你喜不喜欢，他们都值得尊敬。 “The Dodgers are unquestionably awesome,’’ said Jerry Dipoto, Seattle Mariners president of baseball operations. “There are superstars all around the field. They have awesome role players. They have depth everywhere you look. So to have a team like that, and to sustain it, is so impressive. 「道奇队毫无疑问非常强大，」西雅图水手队棒球营运总裁 Jerry Dipoto 说。「球场上 到处都是超级球星，他们也有非常出色的角色球员，而且无论你往哪里看，阵容深度都非 常充足。能打造出这样的球队，并长期维持下去，真的令人敬佩。」 “Really, there’s always been that team that dating back to as long as I watched or have been a fan of baseball. Look at the Yankees in the 90s and early 2000s. You had [Mariano] Rivera, [Jorge] Posada, [Andy] Pettitte and [Derek] Jeter. They were homegrown players. It was the with those great Braves ’ teams. And it’s the same with the Dodgers. 「其实，从我开始看棒球、成为球迷以来，联盟里一直都有这样的一支球队存在。看看 1990 年代到 2000 年初期的洋基队吧，他们有 Mariano Rivera、Jorge Posada、Andy Pettitte 和 Derek Jeter 。这些人都是自家培养出来的球员。」「当年的那些强大的亚特 兰大勇士队也是如此，而现在的道奇队也是同样的情况。」 “The team costs a lot more money to field, but that doesn’t take away from anything they’re doing.’’ 「打造这样的球队确实需要花很多钱，但这并不会抹煞他们所做的一切努力与成就。」 The Dodgers aren’t about to apologize. 道奇队并不打算为此道歉。 They plan to keep on winning. 他们计画继续赢下去。 And they dare someone to stop them. 而且，他们也在等着看看到底有谁能阻止他们。 -- 网页里面 ai问答引擎 Why do some teams support a salary cap in MLB? AI Generated by USA TODAY Some MLB teams support a salary cap because they believe it would lead to a more competitive balance across the league and control spiraling payrolls. Frustration has grown following high-spending clubs such as the Los Angeles Dodgers significantly outpacing other teams in player salaries, which some teams and owners view as creating an uneven playing field and making it harder for smaller-market teams to compete. 一些美国职棒大联盟球队支持薪资上限制度，因为他们认为这将有助於联盟内部形成更平 衡的竞争环境，并控制不断攀升的薪资总额。然而，像洛杉矶道奇队这样的大手笔俱乐部 在球员薪资方面远远超过其他球队，这引发了人们的不满。一些球队和老板认为，这种做 法造成了不公平的竞争环境，使小市场球队更难参与竞争。 Supporters of a salary cap argue that it would prevent wealthy teams from consistently signing top free agents and widen opportunities for all clubs to contend for championships. The ongoing payroll debate, highlighted by recent contracts like Kyle Tucker’s and the Dodgers’ payroll exceeding the $400 million mark, has increased calls from some team owners for a salary cap as MLB approaches crucial 2026 labor negotiations. However, efforts to implement a cap have faced strong resistance from the MLB Players Association, which says a cap would suppress player wages and limit earning potential. 支持薪资上限的人认为，薪资上限可以防止财力雄厚的球队持续签下顶级自由球员，并增 加所有俱乐部争夺总冠军的机会。随着 Kyle Tucker的合约以及道奇队薪资总额超过4亿美 元等事件的曝光，关於工资帽的争论愈演愈烈，一些球队老板呼吁设立薪资帽的呼声也随 之高涨，而此时MLB即将迎来至关重要的2026年劳资谈判。然而，MLB球员工会强烈反对实 施薪资帽，他们认为薪资上限会抑制球员薪资成长，限制球员的收入潜力。 --
