A-Gon和夸佛是老板主导 因为老板觉得红袜缺少人气巨星 小弟粗翻一下，有错还请大家指正~ Terry Francona rips Red Sox owners in new book Theo Epstein traded for Adrian Gonzalez and signed Carl Crawford following pressure from Boston Red Sox owners to build a "sexy team," according to a book co-authored by former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona. 嚼嚼在书中表示，前帅哥经理交易来A-Gon与签下CC是来自於老板的压力，他们想要打造 一支”吸引人的球队”。 Epstein, who left as general manager after the 2011 season to become a Chicago Cubs executive, said Boston owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and president Larry Lucchino made the team's image a priority, according to excerpts released Tuesday by Sports Illustrated. 前帅哥经理说，高层三巨头把球队的形象摆在优先顺位。 "Francona: The Red Sox Years" is co-written by the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy and is scheduled for publication by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on Jan. 22. 嚼嚼的新书—红袜岁月，预计在1/22出版。 "They told us we didn't have any marketable players, that we needed some sizzle," Epstein is quoted as saying. "We need some sexy guys. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. This is like an absurdist comedy. We'd become too big. It was the farthest thing removed from what we set out to be." 前帅哥经理表示，高层三巨头跟制服组说球队没有市场代表性的大咖球员。找些吸引人的 家伙来球队本来并不是最重要的事，可是当下这件事却支配了大局，这根本就像出荒谬的 喜剧。球队变得太庞大(应该是指薪资快爆表了)。这远远不是我们计画的那样。 注: "Tail wagging the dog"我查到的意思是"An item of minor importance dominating a situation"。我自己不太有办法直接直译得很顺，所以翻译成我自己所理解的意思。 如果与原文意义偏差太多还请大家指正~ On Nov. 2, 2010, a group gathered at Fenway Park to review results of that $100,000 marketing research project the Red Sox had commissioned following declining ratings of NESN, the regional sports network partly owned by the team. 在NESN的评比下降後，球队经营团队委托制作了一个十万镁的市场研究计画，并在 2010/11/2於芬威球场检视结果。 The books stated the marketing report said: "(W)omen are definitely more drawn to the 'soap opera' and 'reality-TV' aspects of the game ... They are interested in good-looking stars and sex symbols" — a reference to All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia. 书中提到，市场研究计画的报告指出，女性观众很明显地更被球赛中的”肥皂剧” 与”真人实境秀”元素所吸引。她们对好看的球星与性象徵感兴趣，像是全明星 二垒手小派。 Gonzalez and Crawford were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last summer along with Josh Beckett after the Red Sox fell out of contention. 去年夏天大势已去後，红袜把A-Gon、CC、北极交易去了道奇… Francona left after the 2011 season, when the Red Sox lost 20 of their last 27 games, becoming the first team to lead by nine games in September and not make the postseason. He worked for ESPN in 2012. Cleveland hired him in October as its manager. 2011季末，红袜在最後27场比赛输了20场，成为第一支在进入九月时有九场胜差优势却未 能打进季後赛的球队。之後嚼嚼为此离开球队。他去年在ESPN工作。十月时笑脸人延聘他 当总教练。 Francona said owners refused to let the Red Sox play day games on final days of homestands because of television. 嚼嚼说老板因为电视转播的关系，拒绝在最後几场的主场赛程打日间比赛。 "One thing the players were always asking for was getaway day games," he said. "The owners would never go for it. They couldn't have more day games because the ratings were already suffering, and that would have hurt worse." 嚼说，球员总是想要打日间比赛，但老板不同意，因为这会让已经不太好的收视率更糟。 Francona is quoted as saying that at the Sept. 30, 2011, meeting with owners he said: "If you don't know what you are doing about me, why am I here? This is a silly meeting. If you don't want me, just tell me." The team announced later that day that it was not exercising his option. 2011/9/30与老板会面时，嚼说，"如果你们不知道要怎麽处理我，那我干嘛还留在这?这 是个无聊的会面，如果你们不要我，直接跟我说"。稍後，球队宣布不执行嚼嚼的合约选 择权。 (这段应该是在指当初老板没有表示要慰留) "It was at that meeting that he said that he had lost control of the clubhouse," Werner is quoted as saying, "that he was not the right person to continue as manager." Werner表示，在那场会面中，嚼说他已经无法掌控球队，他已不再适合担任总教练。 Francona recalled the session differently: "I never said I lost control of the clubhouse I said I hadn't been able to reach some of the guys." 嚼却有不同的说法:"我没说我无法掌控球队，我是说我无法与一些人沟通" (ㄑㄅ?) He was critical of the owners in the book. 嚼在书中评判了老板。 "They come in with all these ideas about baseball, but I don't think they love baseball," he said. "I think they like baseball. It's revenue, and I know that's their right and their interest because they're owners ... and they're good owners. But they don't love the game. It's still more of a toy or a hobby for them. It's not their blood. They're going to come in and out of baseball. It's different for me. Baseball is my life." “老板有计画要搞棒球，但我不认为他们爱棒球。” “我认为他们喜欢棒球。棒球能带来收益。我知道收益是他们身为老板的权利与兴趣，而 他们是好老板。但他们不爱球赛。对他们而言这不过是玩物或嗜好。他们没有流着棒球的 血液。他们是棒球界的过客。我可不同，棒球是我的生命” -- 果然出书了啊... 真想买一本来看~ --
