Red Sox get their man in Gagne Gabbard, two prospects sent to Texas for Rangers closer 红袜得到刚爷 Gabbard 两位新秀交换游骑兵终结者 BOSTON -- The Red Sox bolstered what was already perhaps the biggest strength of their team by adding dominant reliever Eric Gagne in a deal with the Texas Rangers that was announced shortly after Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline. 美东时间交易截止日前 波士顿宣称取得刚爷交易优势 Gagne waived the no-trade clause in his contract to make the deal official. He'll serve as Jonathan Papelbon's setup man and close on days that Papelbon is getting rest. Gagne没使用他合约中的非交易特定球队条款 他会当Papelbon的中继 或是在Papelbon休息的时候出来当closer To land the three-time All-Star and 2003 National League Cy Young Award winner, the Red Sox packaged left-handed starter Kason Gabbard and Minor League outfielders David Murphy and Engel Beltre. 要取得三次明星赛,2003国联赛扬投手 红袜付出了左投Kason Gabbard 小联盟外野David Murphy还有 Engel Beltre "We're excited. We feel like we have a really good club. We were looking for ways to strengthen it, and I think the bullpen is already a strength of the club," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "Acquiring a pitcher the caliber of Eric Gagne only makes us stronger. It helps give us what we hope will be a truly dominant bullpen for the remainder of the year." 经理Theo说 "我们很爽 感觉球队已经完整了 我们一值想加强 但我想牛棚 这样经够强了" "得到刚爷这种水准的投手只会让我们更强 他帮我们牛棚在剩余赛事更有优势" Right-hander Gagne, who is expected to join the club on Wednesday, will team with Papelbon (2.15 ERA, 23 saves) and lefty setup man Hideki Okajima (0.87 ERA) as a 1-2-3 bullpen punch as potentially devastating as any in Major League Baseball. 右投刚爷 周三准备加入红袜 加上队上 Papelbon (2.15 ERA, 23 saves) 冈岛 (0.87ERA) 这种牛棚三连发 在大联盟可说是压倒性的牛棚优势 "Eric is obviously one of the most decorated closers in recent memory," Epstein said. "He'll be joining this club primarily in the setup capacity, pitching with Hideki Okajima in front of Jonathan Papelbon and taking save opportunities here and there when Jonathan is not available. To have him agree to waive his no-trade and come here in that role means a lot to this organization." Epstein说 "刚爷是我记忆中功绩最好的投手之一" "他可以投Papelbon前的中继 也可以Papelbon休息时来投 他没使用拒绝条款 对我们来说有重大意义" Gagne, who was a target of the Red Sox during his free-agency period last offseason, is having a strong year (2-0, 2.16 ERA and 16 saves) for the Rangers. Because of injuries, Gagne pitched in just 16 games in a span of two seasons entering this year. However, he regained his health and his dominance in Texas. Gagne上季是红袜要的自由球员之一 这季在条子有2-0, 2.16 ERA and 16 saves 的成绩 . 由於受伤这两季Gagne只投16场 他伤後复出到了条子 When the Red Sox targeted Gagne back in December, the plan was that Papelbon was going to be a starting pitcher. Now, the Red Sox have two of the nastiest righty relievers in the game on one team. 当红袜上次锁定他 12月要他来 那时候Papelbon是设定先发 现在刚爷来 红袜同时有两个恶心的右投再同一队 "I think for us and our bullpen, it's absolutely huge," said Papelbon. "But for me, it's more special and more intriguing than I think I can really put into words. Because you've got a guy like Gagne, who is coming over here and putting his ego aside and putting everything else aside to come over here and win a World Series." Papelbon说 "不管对我牛棚跟球队来说 都是很大的帮助" "有些东西我说不出口 超越我的想像 刚爷把他的自尊心跟地位放两旁来这儿 为了世界大赛冠军" Red Sox manager Terry Francona was enthused about adding yet another weapon to his bullpen. Manny Delcarmen and Mike Timlin have also pitched well over the last few weeks, and Julian Tavarez just moved to the rotation from the bullpen, adding further depth. 柯南精神气爽 刚爷这凶猛的武器加入牛棚 猪脚面跟大叔上周投不错 赛扬塔将移到先发 有了这武器 牛棚深度增加了 "I think it's very big," Francona said. "We have a responsibility to communicate to these relievers that there's not a disappointment in what they've done. If anything, we're thrilled to death with the way they've handled their innings. We're trying to make the club better for the long haul. Our sights are pretty high. And we will communicate that with everybody, just to make sure they understand." 柯南说 " 我想这很重大" "我们教练团有责任跟这几位後援投手沟通 不是说对他们失望 他们如果好好掌握投球的那局 我们会爽到死 我们试着让球队更完好 走的更长远 我们的愿景很深远 而我们要跟每个投手好好沟通 让他们了解" Complete coverage >Gabbard, who is 4-0 with a 3.73 ERA, was scheduled to pitch for the Red Sox on Wednesday night. The homegrown product -- the Red Sox drafted him in 2000 -- had done a nice job filling in for the ailing Curt Schilling. With Schilling set to return to the rotation on either Sunday or Monday, the Red Sox would have had to take a starter out of the rotation. Now, Schilling simply takes the spot vacated by Gabbard. 完整的新闻报导 农场出产的Gabbard,4-0,3.73 ERA 本来明天要先发 2000年选来的 在Schilling受伤时顶起Schilling的位子干的不错 当Schilling要周日或下周一回到轮值时 红袜要拿拿掉轮值的其中一位 现在 Schilling就直接接 Gabbard的位子 "It's a good time to underscore the contribution that Kason Gabbard made this year," Epstein said. "Because at a very vulnerable time for the club, when Curt Schilling was down, he stepped up and couldn't have performed better in that role." Epstein说 "Gabbard今年的表现真的很有贡献" "因为他顶上来时 刚好是球队比较惨淡的时候 Schilling受伤 回不到以往表现" The left-handed-hitting Murphy was Boston's first round Draft selection in 2003. He hit .280 with 20 doubles, nine homers and 47 RBIs in 100 games at Triple-A Pawtucket this season. Beltre, who is just 17 years old, was signed as an international free agent last year. He spent this season with the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Red Sox, hitting .215 with five homers and 13 RBIs. 左打Murphy03第一轮选到 今年 3A 100场比赛中.280 20二安 9HR 47 RBIs Beltre 17岁小鬼 去年国际球员签约签到 在rookie打 .215 5HR 13RBIs The most significant aspect of this deal for the Red Sox is that they didn't have to part with any of their elite prospects, a group that includes, among others, Clay Buchholz, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester and Justin Masterson. 这次交易有意义的观点是 红袜不想丢他们农场的菁英 包刮 Clay Buchholz, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester 还有 Justin Masterson Despite leading the American League East since April 18 -- in fact, the Sox had an eight-game cushion entering Tuesday -- they were not content to stand pat. 尽管从四月18就是美东老大 红袜周二只有八场胜差 红袜不满足 "I'm proud of this year's team," said Epstein. "As Tito said, we have our sights set pretty high. There's going to be a big seventh and eight inning in there somewhere where we need Hideki Okajima and Eric Gagne to get us through that, and to get the ball to Jonathan Papelbon. We had the opportunity to make this deal without dramatically impacting our farm system." Epstein说 "我为我们队今年表现骄傲" "就跟Tito说的一样 我们的远景很高 第七局跟第八局需要刚爷跟冈岛帮我们度过 然後把球交给Papelbon. 我们要赢得这合约 因为我们农场还没有惊人表现的投手上来顶" What made Gagne decide to forego his no-trade clause? 什麽使刚爷忘记行使他合约中的不可交易条款? "I think it was really about the comfort of the fit, making sure that we'd be able to preserve his routine," said Epstein. "It might be in the eighth inning, more often than not, than the ninth inning. But he can still have a routine. Tito is exceptional at protecting relievers, making sure they know when they're going to pitch. I think once we were able to communicate through [agent] Scott Boras and directly to Eric that we could take care of him and make sure he stays healthy and effective, that we'd have a pretty darned good chance of doing some special things together ... it was primarily the fit." Epstein说"我想是因为待在这儿他会很舒服 我们保证会维持他的出场数" "可能第八局 比没出场或投第九局好 他也可以接受 Tito有他独特的一套保护後援投手 他们上场前都会让他们知道 我想还有跟毒蛇波拉斯沟通过 我们能保养刚爷的手臂 让他维持健康跟效力 我们有这爽到不行的条约........这就是主要的合适" Gagne has incentives in his contract that are bases on how many games he finishes. Epstein said the sides were able to work that out. 刚爷有激励条款 基本的或是几场完成比赛 Epstein说这方面他还要去研究 "His contract was set up as a closer with some incentives out there that he would have earned had he stayed in Texas in a closing role," said Epstein. "We came to a very equitable resolution fairly quickly about that." Epstein说 "他的合约就是当设计当终结者会赚一些激励奖金 在条子所没有的" "我们最近很快就会决定这激励条款" Epstein also cited the fact that the Red Sox will receive Draft compensation for Gagne should he depart as a free agent as a factor in the deal. Epstein也说红袜会拿到条子一些贴补金 The addition of Gagne seemed to be endorsed throughout the clubhouse. 贴补金就是合约中刚爷还没到FA就离开的 "We need a guy like that to come in and do what he knows how to do," said Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. "He's got good stuff. I had about two, three at-bats against him [in June] and tried to figure him out. He really had it going on." 红袜强棒 大肚.奥提兹说 "我们需要一个他自己知道在干麻的家伙" "他有好的stuff 我跟他对决过两三次[六月] 而且我试着研究他球路 他的球真的赞" Epstein had someone watching Gagne pitch virtually all season. 1;30Epstein 也观察了Gagne整季的赛事 "We've been very impressed with Eric this year," Epstein said. "Our scouts have followed him since the beginning of the season. We've been sitting on him for about the last four to six weeks. He has an excellent fastball and it's really made even better by his secondary stuff. He's got that great Bugs Bunny changeup and change-of-pace, slow curveball that will drop in for a strike, and incredible know-how. [He has] just great makeup on the mound to pitch in tight situations." Epstein说 "我们对刚爷这季表现很有印象" "我们球探观察了他一整季 我们也看他最近四到六周的比赛 他有很棒的速球 比他的第二武器强 他有改变动向的疯狂邦妮兔变速球 掉进好球带的慢速曲球 还有难以置信的投球技能 他能在紧张局势的时候上投手丘" The Red Sox are hopeful that the tightest of those situations will occur late in the month of October. 红袜期待 十月底可以得到想要的 "紧张局势" 消息来源 : http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070731&content_id=2120259&vkey=news_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos --
