这篇是昨晚发出来的～有一点LAG，因为官网已经公布红袜得标，不过我还是 简短的做一下翻译，昨天手指切伤所以打字时会有些痛～要是错误较多请见谅～ 帮忙指正～我会做修改的～谢谢～～ ARLINGTON -- Major League Baseball has not yet officially announced who has won the rights to negotiate with Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. But the Rangers are dealing with the understanding that their bid of what sources said was $27 million is going to fall short. All indications are that the Boston Red Sox have won the negotiating rights. The Rangers prepare to move on, but their approach to Matsuzaka reflects their philosophy for the offseason: They will take a cautious approach to potential free agents, but will also be aggressive if they find the right player interested in coming to Texas. 虽然MLB官方还没宣布跟大辅的竞标结果，但是RANGERS似乎已经知道自己 没符合竞标成功的价钱，大概都指向了红袜会竞标成功～ RANGERS还是会继续向前走，表示了一种选人哲学，采取小心翼翼的方式去选择球员， 一旦发现那球员适合来RANGERS，也会变的很积极去争取。 "The payroll has always been player-specific," Rangers owner Tom Hicks said. "There's nothing riskier than expensive long-term contracts for pitchers. You have to make sure you get the right guy, but starting pitching is still a priority for us. "There's a lot of wasted money out there for pitchers -- including our own -- who don't perform or get hurt. People end up getting stuck with dead money." 老板说：『没有比长期高价投手约更冒险的了，你必须去确定你选到对的人～～ 现在先发投手对我们来说仍是优先需要』 The Rangers gave Chan Ho Park a five-year, $65 million contract and quickly came to regret it. But they also gave Kevin Millwood a five-year, $60 million deal and were quite satisfied after he went 16-12 with a 4.52 ERA in his first season with the Rangers. The Rangers are expected to make a serious run at left-handed pitcher Barry Zito, who has already told new manager Ron Washington that he would be interested in coming to Texas. Right-hander Jeff Suppan and left-hander Ted Lilly are also on the Rangers' list. They are likely to stay away from right-hander Jason Schmidt because of concerns about his health. 对於 PARK 的 大合约，老板是相当快的就感到後悔了～ 但是还是给了～ Kevin Millwood一份好的合约，对於他的第一个在RANGERS 球季中，缴出了16W-12L 4.52ERA还是感到满意～ 我们还是相当期待左手大将ZITO的到来～因为他跟新教头之间也有不错的交情～ 也有兴趣加入RANGERS～另外Jeff Suppan和TED Lilly也在我们补强名单中～ Jason Schmidt就没有考虑因为他的健康问题～ The Rangers also have interest in re-signing Vicente Padilla, but club officials have made it clear his asking price is way too high for them right now. "We're comfortable investing in a pitcher like Kevin Millwood," Hicks said. "But we'd like to avoid the traps that might be out there with pitchers that are too risky." 对於重签Vicente Padilla也是很有意愿～但是似乎价码还没谈好～～0rz... 以下是春季的一些计画和票价的调整，就不多做翻译了～～ Spring schedule released: The Rangers will play their final two 2007 exhibition games in the Metroplex.

Individual ticket prices: The Rangers are introducing Premier Pricing for seven home games of the 2007 season.

Individual tickets for those games will be $6 more from Lexus Club Infield to Corner Box and an additional $3 for the remainder of the sections. "The areas where prices increased were due to supply and demand factors," club president Jeff Cogen said.
