SNY记者Chelsea Janes球迷问答信箱 https://reurl.cc/ovqr9l “If you were Stearns, what would you do in this situation?” – Brian Bardin on BlueSky 「如果你是 Stearns，你会怎麽处理现在这个局面？」——Brian Bardin I have thought about this a lot, and I am aware there are always things we don’ t know about why some moves have been made and not others. For example, while I have heard the Mets are in contact with teams about potentially moving a pitcher for help, I do not know exactly what offers they have had or considered, so exa ctly what kind of roster shakeup is available to them is not entirely clear to m e. 我想了这件事很久，我也知道有些操作之所以做了或没做，背後总有外界不知道的原因，举 例来说我听说大都会正和其他球队接触，考虑交易投手来补强，但我并不清楚他们实际收到 或考虑过哪些报价，因此到底能进行什麽程度的阵容变动，其实我也无法完全判断 Still, the first thing I would do is go to Cohen and say, do you want me to try to save this season at any cost, or do you want me to operate with an eye toward the future. If he says the former, I would take advantage of my financial flexi bility and pursue a major trade for a big contract that might bring in a new vet eran presence and might also bring in some kind of bullpen help or starting dept h if I shouldered enough of the money. 不过我第一件会做的事，是去问 Cohen：「你希望我不惜一切代价拯救这个球季，还是要我 以未来为重来操作？」如果他的答案是前者，那我会利用球队的财务弹性，去追求一笔大型 交易，接下一份高额合约，藉此引进新的资深领袖，同时如果愿意承担更多薪资，也许还能 顺便补进牛棚或先发深度 There are several veterans around the sport who look uncomfortable with their cu rrent teams. Rafael Devers looks hapless with the frustrated San Francisco Giant s. Trevor Story is struggling, even as he is vocally frustrated with Red Sox man agement: Could the Mets pair a deal for him and his contract while grabbing an o utfielder from Boston’s longstanding logjam? The Orioles could use some infield depth, and while the Mets might not have it to offer, perhaps some kind of mutu al shakeup is possible there. If that sounds like throwing good money after bad, it might be. But if the whole season is going to be bad money anyway, might as well see if a fresh start for a player with a strong track record can help reviv e him and the Mets at once. 现在联盟里有几位老将，看起来都对目前所属球队感到不自在，Rafael Devers 在令人沮丧 的巨人看起来完全失去方向，Trevor Story也陷入低潮，而且还公开表达对红袜管理层的不 满：大都会是否能连同他的合约一起交易过来，顺便从波士顿长年拥挤的外野阵容中挖来一 名外野手？金莺也需要内野深度，虽然大都会未必有东西能提供，但或许仍存在某种互相改 变现况的可能性，如果这听起来像是把更多钱丢进烂局里，那也许确实如此，但如果整个球 季本来就注定会变成沉没成本，那不如试看看一位有实绩的球员换个环境後，是否能同时拯 救自己与大都会 Mostly, I would hunt for a first baseman who can hit for power. There are plenty of them around and securing one would not eliminate Polanco’s usefulness when and if he is healthy. Polanco, famously, has never been a full-time first basema n anyway. Bumping him into more of a utility role deepens the team immediately. 整体而言，我会优先寻找一位具备长打能力的一垒手，市场上其实有不少这类球员，而引进 这样的人选，也不会让 Polanco在健康时失去价值，毕竟大家都知道，Polanco本来就从来 不是全职一垒手，把他转为更偏工具人的角色，反而能立刻提升球队深度 Absent options there, I would make clear that a $400 million-dollar roster is no t a place to experiment, but rather a place where every spot is earned. 如果没有办法做到上述补强，那我会很明确地表态：一支薪资高达4亿美元的球队，不该是 拿来做实验的地方，而是每一个位置都必须靠表现争来的地方 For example: Sean Manaea is neither starter nor effective short reliever. The Me ts do not need a long reliever, since they have Tobias Myers. Keeping Manaea on the roster means working around him when the only thing the Mets should be worri ed about is winning games. 举例来说：Sean Manaea 既不是合格的先发，也不是有效率的短局数後援，大都会并不需要 长中继，因为他们已经有Tobias Myers，继续把 Manaea留在名单上，就代表球队必须为了 他去调整运用方式，而大都会现在唯一该在意的事情应该只有赢球 Besides, it does not seem fair to Manaea, who simply does not look right. When h e is right, his velocity is better and his stuff is sharper. Whatever he and the team insist about his health, he has been off since spring training, throwing i n the high 80s. I would see if the loose bodies he decided not to get surgically removed are still affecting that elbow, and I would suggest he remove them. He is not helpful in the bullpen as is, and the Mets need as many effective relieve rs as they can get. And his best chance at an effective future is likely a total physical reset. 而且这对 Manaea本人来说似乎也不公平，因为他看起来明显不对劲，正常状态下的他，球 速会更好，球威也更锐利，不管他和球队怎麽强调自己的健康没问题，自从春训开始，他的 状况就一直不对，球速甚至只剩下80英里後段，我会去确认那些他决定不动手术取出的游离 骨片，是否仍然影响着他的手肘，并建议他接受手术，照目前的状态，他对牛棚毫无帮助， 而大都会需要尽可能多的有效後援投，他未来还想重新成为有效率投手的最佳机会，很可能 是彻底重整身体状况 I would also be decisive about Kodai Senga’s future. The veteran right-hander t hrew a bullpen this week, which means he is starting to build his way back from the lumbar spine inflammation that landed him on the injured list after several bad outings. But rosters paid nearly $400 million should not be proving grounds, and Senga has not proven he is an asset. Perhaps he could use a fresh start els ewhere. Perhaps he and the Mets have both needed one for quite some time. 我也会果断处理千贺的未来，这位资深右投本周已经开始牛棚练投，代表他正在从腰椎发炎 伤势中逐渐恢复；此前他因连续几场糟糕表现而进入伤兵名单，但一支薪资接近4亿美元的 球队，不应该成为让球员慢慢证明自己的地方，而 千贺至今并未证明自己是球队资产，也 许他需要一个新的环境，也许他和大都会其实早就都需要分开了 Speaking of which, I would also stop patching holes with veterans trying to rees tablish themselves. Tommy Pham, Slater, and the rest have been solid players thr oughout their careers. But they are not hitting well now, and the Mets do not ha ve enough at-bats to give them to allow them to figure things out while playing in games the Mets must win to save their season. I would call up whichever prosp ects (Morabito, Ewing, Ryan Clifford) I think are most ready and let them prove they cannot handle it until injured veterans come back. The playing time they ne ed is available in the big leagues now. I think I would let them take it. 说到这点，我也会停止用那些试图重建身价的老将来填补漏洞，Tommy Pham、Slater等人生 涯都曾是很不错的球员，但问题是他们现在打得不好，而大都会也没有足够的打席可以让他 们一边摸索状态、一边打那些非赢不可的比赛，我会直接拉上我认为准备最充分的新秀（Mo rabito、Ewing、Ryan Clifford），让他们上场，直到证明自己真的还无法适应为止，至少 撑到受伤老将回归，现在他们需要的上场时间，大联盟其实就有，我会让他们直接去争取 And finally, I would tell the entire lineup, top to bottom, to take more pitches . I know the Mets are built around aggressive hitters. But that aggressiveness h as not yielded good results. They are not stringing enough hits together to crea te consistent offense, so they need to find ways to get men on base. No more fir st-pitch outs from the bottom of the order down a run. If the Mets are built aro und hitters who cannot work the count and succeed offensively, they need to be b uilt around different hitters. Seeing pitches does not have to come at the expen se of making contact, and seeing pitches is the most proven recipe for success t his sport has ever had. 最後我会要求整条打线，从第一棒到最後一棒，都要更有耐心地选球，我知道大都会的阵容 是以侵略型打者为核心打造的，但这种侵略性并没有带来好结果，他们无法持续串联安打形 成稳定攻势，因此必须找到更多让跑者上垒的方法，球队落後时，我不想再看到後段打线第 一球就出局，如果大都会是建立在那些无法缠斗球数、也无法有效进攻的打者身上，那他们 就需要不同类型的打者多看几颗球，这并不代表一定会牺牲击球能力，而「能够消耗球数、 观察投球」一直都是这项运动最被证明有效的成功法则 “How can Cohen justify leaving Stearns in his role? He created this mess of a r oster. He can’t be trusted to fix it, can he?” -- @Big_John1906 「Cohen要怎麽合理化继续让 Stearns留在这个位置？这套烂阵容就是他打造的，他真的还 值得被信任去收拾这个烂摊子吗？」——@Big_John1906 Everything I have heard about Steve Cohen’s stance during the last few weeks is that it is largely one of patience. Stearns would not have told MLB.com he is n ot firing Carlos Mendoza had Cohen not ok’ed the message. And Cohen does not ha ve a history of dramatic reactivity. 这几周以来我听到所有关於Steve Cohen态度的消息，都显示他目前仍以耐心为主，如果不 是Cohen点头同意，Stearns不可能对MLB.com表示球队不会开除 Carlos Mendoza，而且Cohe n过去也不是那种会情绪化、大动作反应的老板 That being said, Cohen knew what he was doing when he told reporters in spring t raining that he is annoyed that his team has not won regularly during his tenure . He was not bloviating when he said the Mets “have to make the playoffs.” Wit h a roster as expensive as his, that standard seems more than fair. 但话说回来Cohen在春训时对记者表示，他对球队在自己任内始终无法稳定赢球感到不满， 这番话并不是随口说说，他说球队「必须打进季後赛」时，也不是在夸大其词，以这支球队 如此昂贵的薪资规模来看，这样的标准其实相当合理 All of which is to say, I think Cohen gives Stearns a chance to fix this between now and the end of the season. If they miss the playoffs, I do not think he wil l get more chances beyond that. 总而言之，我认为Cohen会给Stearns一次机会，让他在本季结束前试着修正这一切，但如果 大都会最终无缘季後赛，我不认为他还会再得到下一次机会 --
