ATLANTA -- As he said back during Spring Training, Braves manager Bobby Cox plans to remain in his current position through at least the end of the 2008 season. The contractual confirmation came Wednesday afternoon when the Braves announced they had extended his contract for another year. 亚特兰大--如同春训期间他所说的一样，Braves总教练Bobby Cox将留任到2008球季。在 星期三下午Braves球团宣布这延长一年的合约。 "I'm delighted," Braves general manager John Schuerholz said. "He's the best manager in baseball. It goes without saying that he's been the key and constant ingredient in the run of success that we've had." Braves GM JS说"我很高兴，他是棒球界最棒的教练之一。他是我们成功路上的关键。" Schuerholz and Cox have discussed the expected announcement since the end of last season. They reached an agreement late last week and opted to delay the announcement until the Braves came back to Atlanta to begin a two-game series against the Cubs on Wednesday night. JS 与 Cox 从上个球季末就开始讨论。在上礼拜达成共识并且选择延後宣布，直到星期三 晚上Braves回到亚特兰大与Cubs的二场系列赛前。 Since Cox assumed his current role midway through the 1990 season, the Braves have enjoyed one run of 14 consecutive division titles, made five trips to the World Series and won a world championship. His 2,180 wins place him fifth on the all-time managerial wins list. 自从1990年季中，Cox担任目前的职位以来，Braves赢得了连续14年分区冠军，参与了五 次世界大赛，并且赢得了一座世界冠军。生涯2,180场胜利使他在纪录上排名第五。 In early March, Cox indicated that there was a good chance he would retire at the end of the 2008 season. As of Wednesday, he hadn't changed his mind. But there's still indication that he's keeping his options open. 在三月初，Cox表明有可能在2008季末退休。在星期三，也没有改变。但是他仍然可以做 其它选择。 "When I do retire, I'll miss it greatly," said Cox, who has traditionally worked with contracts covering just one or two years. "I'd love to do this until the day that I die. But that wouldn't be normal." 合约还有一至二年的Cox说"当我退休时，我将十分想念。我想做这份工作直到我死的那一 天，但那是不可能的。" Schuerholz has worked alongside Cox since the Braves began their great run during the 1991 season. Contractually, he is signed through the end of this season. But many believe he might choose to continue in his role for at least a few more seasons. JS从1991年开始与Cox合作开始这伟大的旅程。他的合约将在这季末结束。但许多人相信 他将继续担任这个角色。 When asked if he had been given an extension, Schuerholz deflected the day's attention back towards Cox. 当问到关於续约的问题时，他将当天的注意力转回到Cox身上。 "I'm signed for long enough," Schuerholz said with a smile. "It really is about Bobby today." "我签的够久了"JS笑着说，"今天是属於Cox的。" The Braves' sale to Liberty Media could be announced within the next month. Although Time Warner will no longer own the club, the Braves are expected to maintain their same managerial team. Braves转手给Liberty Media的交易案也许将在下个月宣布。虽然Time Warner不再拥有这 支球队，Braves期待能拥有一样的管理团队。 Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has made it known that he wants Cox and Schuerholz to stay in Atlanta as long as they want. 大联盟理事长Bud Selig传达了这个消息，Cox与JS只要他们想要，他希望他们留在亚特兰 大。 原文出处 http://tinyurl.com/39ncaj -- 第一次翻译请多指教~谢谢 有JS与Cox的感觉真好 看来Cox 被请出场可以破纪录了XD --
