※ 引述《pikachu123 (pika)》之銘言： : A.J. Burnett has accepted a five-year, $82.5 million deal from the Yankees : New York Yankees .A major league official with knowledge of Burnett's decision : said the deal will become official when Burnett passes a Yankees physical. Burnett已經接受洋基所提出的5年8250萬美金的合約. 一位已知道Burnett決定 的大聯盟官員說, 當Burnett通過洋基的身體檢查後這份合約將會正式生效. : Though Burnett's agent, Darek Braunecker, refused to comment, a person : connected to the Braves said yesterday they were informed Burnett had chosen : the Yankees. : GM Brian Cashman didn't return numerous calls. 雖然Burnett的經紀人拒絕發表意見. 但一位勇士隊相關人士說他們已被告知Burnett 選擇洋基. 現金人則是沒回應眾多的奪命連環扣. : Getting Burnett, 32 on Jan. 3, to join CC Sabathia is an expensive exacta but : one that gives the Yankees the best one-two pitching combo in the AL East. : The Yankees bagged the 28-year-old Sabathia this week with a seven-year, $161 : million deal that includes an opt-out clause after three years. Combined with : the $82.5 million spent on Burnett, that's $243.5 million in five days. Sabathia與Burnett相繼入袋是一個昂貴的賭注, 但這將使得洋基擁有美聯東區中 最好的一二號先發雙人組. 洋基在這星期提供Sabathia一份7年1億6100萬美金的合約, 包含三年後的逃脫條款. 再加上Burnett這份合約, 洋基在五天內總計燒掉了2億4350萬美金. : And the Yankees, who had $88 million come off the books after a very : discouraging 2008 season, still have money to chase Derek Lowe, Ben Sheets, : Andy Pettitte Andy Pettitte and possibly Mark Teixeira or Manny Ramirez. 在2008年這個令人沮喪的球季後, 洋基空出8800的薪資空間, 手上仍有籌碼去競標 Derek Lowe, Ben Sheets, Andy Pettitte, 甚至可能是Mark Teixeir或Manny Ramirez. : "I can sense the excitement and the confidence that's spreading around the : entire organization about what we're getting done and what we may get done : still," Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press. "A rising tide lifts all : boats, and the confidence and the excitement right now among the team and the : organization is contagious." Hank在美聯社的採訪中說出"我能感受到整個球團組織對於我們所幹下的好事感到興奮. 就如同高潮時會帶所有船隻昇天. 瀰漫在球隊組織的信心與興奮正在蔓延" : Out of that $88 million, Sabathia will earn $23 million next season and Burnett : will pull down $16.5 million. That leaves $39.5 million for Cashman to play : with, if he wants to keep the payroll the same. 扣掉Sabathia與Burnett下個球季加起來的薪資, 如果現金人想維持與今年相同的薪資 總額, 那他還有3950萬美金的薪資空間去收集公仔. : No doubt money played a part. : The Yankees offered more and the Braves were wary of a fifth year for a pitcher : who has had medical problems but did go 18-10 and led the AL in strikeouts with : 231 last year. 毫無疑問的, 薪資條件是洋基搶得Burnett的因素之一. 洋基提供較好的薪資條件, 而且勇士對於向傷痛病史豐富的Burnett提出肥約也有所顧慮. 即使他今年戰績18勝10負, 231次三振是美聯之首. : However, the Braves believed location may have been a factor. Burnett lives in : Maryland and has a five-acre horse ranch north of Baltimore. : His wife detests flying, so the 3?-hour car ride to The Bronx is more : attractive than the 11-hour trek to Atlanta. 勇士隊相信地點也是一項因素. Burnett住在Maryland, 而且在Baltimore北部 有一塊五英畝的種馬養殖場. 此外, 他老婆討厭搭飛機昇天. 所以三小時車程到洋基球場比較有吸引力. : Burnett's contract with the Blue Jays included eight round-trip limo trips from : Maryland to Toronto. The Yankees aren't high on such extras. : Because he has been on the disabled list nine times since 2000, injuries make : Burnett a risk, but what pitcher is guaranteed to avoid the DL? 之前藍鳥提供給Burnett的合約中包括八張往返馬里蘭--多倫多的豪華座艙機票, 洋基則是沒提供這項福利 (OS:這裡翻得很心虛) 自從2000至今, Burnett共計九次進入DL名單. 傷痛病史使得Burnett具有投資風險, 但有哪位投手可以保證不進入DL名單. : The fact Burnett's two best years - 2005 and 2008 - were walk years raises a : red flag. So, too, do bouts of immaturity in the past. : As for other issues, nothing concrete came out of Cashman's trip to Houston to : see Pettitte. The club wants Pettitte, 36, back on a one-year deal for $10 : million, and Pettitte is bitter about taking a pay cut from the $16 million : he earned this past season when he went 14-14. 至於其它補強方面, 現今人這次造訪休士頓與Pettitte會面並沒有具體的結果. 球團方面希望Pettitte接受一年1000萬美金的合約. Pettitte則是面有菜菜色. : The Yankees and Brewers continue to talk about a Mike Cameron-for-Melky Cabrera : Melky Cabrera deal. The Brewers want to move Cameron's $10 million contract and : use that money to acquire pitching after losing Sabathia and likely losing : Sheets. 洋基與釀酒人持續針對卡麥隆牛奶交易案做討論. 釀酒人希望擺脫Cameron的1000萬合約並利用這些薪資空間去補強先發投手陣容. Sabathia已經確認離隊又很可能失去Sheets. : The Brewers asked for and were denied Mark Melancon, Jose Veras and Phil Coke. : They may have to settle for Kei Igawa if the Yankees eat some of the remaining : $12 million on the left-handed bust : Hank好久不見您又發言了,對於這個冬天的補強他覺得全隊都很興奮且很有信心, : 這是會傳染的(你果然只會說),Cameron-for-Melky仍在進行中,酒鬼想要 : Mark Melancon Jose Veras 或是 Phil Coke,但被拒絕了,如果要他們接受井川 : 我們必須吃掉阿宅部分12M的薪水 --- 個人首篇翻譯文, 若文中有翻譯不當之處請見諒. --
