https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7056429/2026/02/19/houston-astros-tatsuya-imai- teammate-dinner/ Astros’ Tatsuya Imai found a ‘connection’ with Ryan Weiss, who organized an i mpactful dinner https://reurl.cc/vKVV1a WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — During his second spring training workout as a Major Le ague Baseball player, Tatsuya Imai found a friend. He finished fielding a ground ball on the pitcher’s mound and approached one of the few people familiar with his plight. 在成为大联盟球员後的第二次春训练习中，今井达也交到了一位朋友，他在投手丘上处理完一颗滚地球後，走向少数几位能理解他处境的人 “I know what it’s like being on his side,” said right-hander Ryan Weiss. “I know what it’s like being a foreigner on a team where you don’t speak that lan guage.” 「我知道他是什麽感觉」瑞恩说 「我知道在一支说着不同语言的球队里当外国人是什麽感觉」 Weiss represented Imai’s best chance to break a barrier. Not even one week into spring training, Imai had grown tired of being isolated inside a South Florida hotel room. He asked Weiss what he did during his spare time, after workouts wer e over. Weiss told Imai he spends most of it with his wife, Hailey. 瑞恩成为今井打破隔阂的最佳机会，在春训甚至开始还不到一周，今井就已厌倦被困在南佛 州旅馆房间里的孤单，他问瑞恩在训练结束後的空闲时间都做些什麽，瑞恩告诉他，大多数 时间都和妻子Hailey 一起度过 “(Imai) said something different, but he was like ‘I’m very bored at the hote l,’” Weiss said with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Do you want to get dinner tonight?’ He was like, ‘I would love to.’” 「（今井）讲的话有点不一样，但大意就是『我在饭店真的很无聊』」瑞恩笑着说 「我就说：『今晚要不要一起吃晚餐？』他回答：『我很乐意』」 Weiss asked Imai whether he preferred a Japanese or American restaurant. Imai ch ose American cuisine. Weiss extended the dinner invitation to Mike Burrows, his throwing partner and another starting pitcher new to the Astros’ clubhouse. Bur rows accepted. 瑞恩问今井想吃日式还是美式餐厅，今井选择了美式，他们把晚餐邀请扩大到他的传接球搭 档、同样是新加入太空人休息室的先发投手 Mike Burrows，Burrows也接受了邀请 “(Weiss) knows that transition and how big of a jump that is,” Burrows said. “Mine is way more minor in comparison to that — coming from another country, a nother culture, (speaking) a different language. It’s a much bigger jump. But I think he understood that, and that’s why he wanted to create that comfort leve l with Imai.” 「（瑞恩）知道那种转换有多困难、是多麽大的跨越」Burrows 说 「跟那相比，我的转变小得多——来自另一个国家、另一种文化、（说着）不同的语言，那 是更巨大的转变，但我想他明白这点，所以才想替今井创造一种舒适感」 The party gathered at Batch Southern Kitchen in downtown West Palm Beach. Imai i ndulged in short rib and ordered another sandwich afterward. Banter between the pitchers ranged from reliving shared experiences to answering some questions abo ut the paths they’ve taken to the sport’s pinnacle. 这群人聚在西棕榈滩市中心的Batch Southern Kitchen，今井大快朵颐地享用牛小排，之後 还再点了一份三明治，投手们的谈笑内容从回忆共同经历，到回答彼此关於如何走到棒球巅 峰的问题 Imai’s interpreter, Ryo Takagi, joined the group to facilitate communication — something the Japanese star hoped this gathering could start to simplify. 今井的翻译高木亮也加入聚会协助沟通——这位日本球星希望透过这次聚会，能让未来的交 流变得更简单 “One of the things he brought up is him wanting to learn more English so he cou ld have a better relationship with us,” Burrows said. “That’s obviously very cool and I want to reciprocate that energy, learn some Japanese and learn to spe ak his language.” 「他提到的一件事，是他想学更多英文，好和我们建立更好的关系」Burrows说 「那真的很棒，我也想回应这份心意，学点日文、学着说他的语言」 The Astros coaching staff is trying to assist. Houston Astros 的教练团也正努力提供协助。 At the direction of manager Joe Espada, team travel director Juan Huitron will c hoose a word of the day and write it on the whiteboard outside of the team’s cl ubhouse 在总教练Joe Espada 的指示下，球队旅行总监 Juan Huitron会选定每日一词，并写在球队 休息室外的白板上 Huitron spells it and offers the proper phonetic pronunciation in four languages : English, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin, in recognition of Taiwanese reliever Ck. Huitron会拼出该单字，并以英语、西班牙语、日语与中文标示正确的语音发音（中文是因 为邓恺威） Astros players have long touted their clubhouse culture as one that welcomes eve ryone and has easy absolutes. Former utilityman Mauricio Dubón once acknowledge d, “We don’t have many rules.” 太空人球员长期以来都称赞球队的休息室文化是欢迎所有人、原则简明，前太空人工具人Ma uricio Dubon曾说：「我们没有太多规矩」 Weiss’s initiative to plan their dinner is not lost on either Imai or Burrows, both of whom have been reserved to begin their Astros’ career. Imai’s humor ha s captivated some teammates, but the language barrier is still something both si des must work through. Perhaps the football sitting inside Imai’s locker — whi ch he tossed as part of his throwing program in Japan and will continue here — can help to bridge the gap. 瑞恩主动安排这顿晚餐的心意，今井与 Burrows 都看在眼里，两人在展开太空人生涯之初 都较为拘谨，今井的幽默已吸引部分队友，但语言障碍仍是双方必须共同克服的课题，或许 我放在今井置物柜里的那颗美式足球——那是他在日本投球训练的一部分，如今也将持续使 用——能帮助拉近彼此的距离 —- 今井合约 入札金$9.975M 2026 $18M 2027 $18M 2028 $18M 第一年投到100局，有额外3M奖金 并且2027、2028年薪资会变成21M 等於合约变成 2026 $21M 2027 $21M 2028 $21M https://i.imgur.com/aBCjjGL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/eaYupOn.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/mmpIcqw.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/IkilfqJ.jpeg https://youtu.be/7u6LfBo4j-0 瑞恩合约 签约金$100K 2026 $2M 2027 $5M(球团选择权 & 500K买断） 依照2026局数，2027薪水最高能涨到6.5M（丢到150局） 2026、2027也各有投球局数激励奖金 2027最高有1.5M(150局） https://i.imgur.com/W38aJP3.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/LxtrHwp.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/MP6DYom.jpeg 2023在富邦成绩 G:5 IP:31.0 ERA：2.32 WHIP：1.10 https://i.imgur.com/Nz6bvhz.jpeg https://youtu.be/HS3c4m3zsNk 邓恺威的Live BP影片 https://x.com/brianmctaggart/status/2024174291072200852 https://i.imgur.com/8iYtwEv.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/2d1rgYJ.jpeg --
