News that Nick Swisher had signed with the Cleveland Indians on Sunday continued a familiar storyline this off-season for the Rangers – another high-priced free agent going somewhere other than Texas. And while seeing yet another big name come off the market will cause fans to fret, Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine hinted this week that the club may not have been as involved in certain free agents as reports indicated. 又一样的故事情节上演，市场上的高价 FA 去的球队不叫 Rangers 助理GM Lavine 暗示说，球队并不如市场传言的在追逐这些高价FA “We’re still looking at the free agent market to see if there are fits for us,” Levine said during an appearance on Sirius XM’s Front Office show. “ But we really went into the off-season with a very short list of free agents that we felt really could impact us in a significantly positive way. And without signing those guys, we were pretty content to turn it over to our internal group.” Lavine 在 Sirius XM’s Front Office show 上表示 "我们仍旧在 FA market 里寻找是否还有适合我们的人选" "事实上我们季末锁定的对象原本就很少，而这些对象必需是足以给我们显着正向影响， 虽然没能签下这几位球员，但我们对球队内部接替的人选感到满意" The Rangers have already lost a slew of their own free agents – the most notable being Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli – while missing out on the likes of Zack Greinke and Torii Hunter. But the club still has more than four months to tweak the roster before the regular season gets underway in April, and Levine says the club is ready to pounce if the right deal comes their way “We’re still prospecting and seeing what the asks are for each free agent and all the guys that are still available on the trade market,” Levine said. “We’re very abreast of that and really ready to strike in the event of a deal that’s ready to pursue.” Rangers 已经失去了一些自家的自由球员 - 最大尾的是 Hami & Napoli 并且在 Greinke & Hunter 追逐战中失利。 但现在距离开季还有4个月的时间可以补强球队， Levine 表示只要有对的(划算的) deal 出现，球队就会出手的。 原文网址 http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/texas-rangers/headlines/20121223-asst.-gm-thad-levine-rangers-ready-to-strike-if-right-deal-comes-along.ece --
