The Indians have had perhaps the quietest offseason in baseball so far, their biggest move being the December 1st Kelly Shoppach-Mitch Talbot swap. Mark Shapiro's only big league free agent contract went to backup catcher Mike Redmond for $850K. The inactivity seems to fit with their rebuilding plan - if the Indians wanted to contend in 2010, they probably wouldn't have traded Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez. 印地安人是今年offseason里最安静的球队, 做过最大的动作是Kelly Shoppach <----> Mitch Talbot 唯一以大联盟约签下的球员是Mike Redmond 主要原因当然是因为他们在重建,不然之前也不会交易掉小李和V-mart The Tribe's inactivity also stems from a lack of cash, based on a report from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal says the Indians "explored the idea of trading right-hander Fausto Carmona to clear money for free-agent second baseman Orlando Hudson, but the possibility is unlikely to come to fruition." 现在传出他们有一个计画,想办法交易掉Carmona,然後加入竞争O-dog的行列 不过成功的机率嘛......... The implication is that the Indians don't have $4-5MM in the 2010 budget for Hudson, despite shedding the $16.7MM that would've been owed to Martinez and Lee. They do have a handful of increasing salaries for '10,Carmona's included. Carmona has two years and $11MM remaining; his contract is a rare example of a regrettable arbitration buyout deal. In terms of dumping contracts, the Indians would benefit greatly from big first halves from Jake Westbrook, Kerry Wood, and Jhonny Peralta. 虽然交易掉小李和V-mart以後,省了16.7M,不过还是没有足够的钱可以签O-dog 而Carmona的约还有2年11M,现在想想,真是被当时的仲裁害惨了 随便翻译,大家加减看,有错请鞭小力点...... --
