※ 引述《MurphyWu (雪涛侠隐)》之铭言： : 不会吧？阿肉後悔了？考虑要打折？ : 本来已经有心理准备会在 LA 看到 SS-Rod 了……XD : http://0rz.tw/583fz : Could Rodriguez Stay a Yankee? Only for Less Money : By TYLER KEPNER : Published: November 4, 2007 : The only way the Yankees would bring back Alex Rodriguez is if Rodriguez : became so desperate to stay that he would take a pay cut, something they do : not envision. But Rodriguez has not eliminated the Yankees from consideration, : and his agent, Scott Boras, said last night that he was still willing to meet : with the team. 洋基说A-Rod想留在队上，可以，降价先 A-Rod说他不排除回到洋基的可能性 Boras说他很期待跟洋基高层会面 : That was a day before Rodriguez opted out of his contract and became a free : agent during Game 4 of the World Series. Boras said then that Rodriguez would : be willing to meet with Hank and Hal Steinbrenner as long as the Yankees did : not discuss money. 时间拉回A-Rod opt out之前 Boras说他的客户愿意和小老板们聊聊，只要内容不谈到钱 : As a policy, Boras does not negotiate with the player he is representing : present. But the Yankees wanted to meet personally with Rodriguez, to tell : them how much they valued him and to see if he meant what he said about : wanting to stay with the team. 洋基说想要和A-Rod单独谈谈，告诉他，他真的很被重视，而洋基也很想要他留下 : When reports of the Yankees’ possible offer surfaced last Sunday, Boras took : that as an indication that the team did, in fact, want to talk money with his : client. He then exercised the opt-out clause without meeting with the Yankees. : That decision triggered a firestorm of negative attention for Rodriguez, Boras把这视为洋基想要谈薪资的举动，所以就不管三七二十一先启动逃脱条款再说 然後这个决策让A-Rod被大家谯 : possibly tarnishing the image of an image-conscious player. For that reason, : said a person close to Rodriguez who spoke on the condition of anonymity, : Rodriguez is dismayed with the fallout and is considering whether to give the : Yankees a discount on the front end of a new contract. 内线消息指出，A-Rod本人对这种结果感到很失望 甚至慎重考虑给纽约乡亲一个折扣价来换取一纸新合约的可能性 : The Yankees have been firm in their plans not to chase Rodriguez as a free : agent, because his opt-out decision cost them a $30 million subsidy from the : Texas Rangers. But if Rodriguez truly wants to come back, he could rectify : that by pledging to take a pay cut over the next three seasons, essentially : returning the Texas money to the Yankees. Front office说好，你变成FA，我们不追就是不追 只是A-Rod真的说想要给洋基三季折扣价 : “I have absolutely no comment on that at this time,” Hank Steinbrenner, the : son of George Steinbrenner, the team’s principal owner, said by telephone : last night. “I think we’ve covered all that enough.” "不予置评"，汉克小老板说 "I think we've covered all that enough">>大概猜得出来,不过不想乱猜,请能人协助 : Privately, the Yankees believe Rodriguez would never take a pay cut unless he : fired Boras, and there is no evidence he would do that. Further, said a : different confidant of Rodriguez, the Yankees angered Rodriguez with their : hard-line stance about his opt-out decision and helped push him into the : free-agent market. 洋基之前从来没想过A-Rod会这样说 根据A-Rod闺中密友分享消息，洋基对於A-Rod的opt out决定一直采取强硬态度， 变相的让A-Rod顺利进入FA市场。 : The Yankees do not believe a team can offer Rodriguez the equivalent of the : extension they were prepared to give — a raise over his $25.2 million average : annual salary, through 2015 — but Boras has made a career of exceeding : industry expectations with record-setting contracts. 洋基从来不相信会有球队能够给A-Rod更好的合约。 洋基准备给A-Rod 25.2M/year，长度则是到2015年!! 不过Boras决定帮这个客户寻求一个MLB史无前例的超级无敌宇宙霹雳大合约 (350M/8years，一年补个6,7M就跟贝克汉一样多钱了，屌!) : In any case, the Yankees are moving on to other business, and Hank : Steinbrenner had more to say on those topics. He said he was confident the : Yankees would re-sign Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, and he wants to give : Andy Pettitte all the time he needs to decide about returning in 2008. 这样一来洋基就只好把重心放在其他的交易和FA上。 汉克小老板说他很有信心把Jorge跟MO留在队上 然後让Andy足够的时间考虑08要不要回来继续一起打拼 : Pettitte has until Wednesday — 10 days after the end of the World Series — : to decide whether to exercise his $16 million option or become a free agent. : But Pettitte has already made it clear that he will play for the Yankees or : retire, and Hank Steinbrenner said he could exceed the 10 days and still be : welcomed back. Andy还可以慢慢考虑，不过他说的很清楚：回洋基，不然就退休 汉克小老板跟他说你可以慢慢来 : “As far as I’m concerned, he can take longer than that to decide, as far as : coming back to the Yankees,” Steinbrenner said. “He can take the time he : wants, because we really want him back.” 对Andy说的话 : Steinbrenner praised Pettitte’s talent and leadership and said he understood : Pettitte’s desire to be around his family more often. Steinbrenner said he : was not suggesting the Yankees offer a Roger Clemens-style “family plan,” : in which Pettitte could leave the team on the days he does not pitch, but he : said the Yankees “can make sure that he gets plenty of family time.” 说Andy很有天分很有领导能力 他了解Andy想多花点时间陪陪老婆孩子。 小老板说不见得会让他有Roger在太空人的那种待遇 但他会尽量让他有足够的家庭时间 (这段应该是对Pettitte太太放话) : Steinbrenner said he believed Pettitte wants to retire after the 2008 season, : if he plays, and he planned to talk with him soon. But he also called the : decision a personal one for Pettitte and said he would not pressure him. 让Andy多点时间想想，不会给他太大压力 : As for Posada and Rivera, who are unsigned free agents, Steinbrenner said : General Manager Brian Cashman had given him positive progress reports. 小老板说，关於MO还有Jorge签约的事情 Cashman给他的报告里面看起来目前一切都还算顺利进行中 : "Things are looking fine with Rivera and Posada,” Steinbrenner said, adding : that the Yankees had made a formal offer to Posada and an informal one to : Rivera, who met with ownership last week in Tampa, Fla. “Obviously, we want : both of them back. We’ve always made that clear with our offers.” "跟MO还有Jorge的事情看样子走得还满顺的"小老板说 "这再明显也不过了，我们希望他们能回来" "我们给他的offer里面把这件讯息透漏的很清楚" -- http://www.wretch.cc/blog/redsniper Go! Yankees! --
