Rangers visit Lee, prepare to make offer 遊騎兵隊訪問Cliff Lee，準備提出合約 Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and team president Nolan Ryan visited free-agent left-hander Cliff Lee at his Arkansas home today. 遊騎兵隊GM Jon Daniels和球團總裁(也是大老板闆之一)Nolan Ryan今天拜訪位於 Arkansas州左投手Cliff Lee的家。 Daniels, in an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, tried to downplay the importance of the trip. "We continued the dialogue," Daniels said. "There's really nothing to say. It's a process. There's no value in any kind of random updates or speculating. They're going through what they feel is a process, and they're going to make the best decision for him and his family." Daniels接受Fort Worth Star-Telegram的訪問，想要降低此行的重要性。"我們持續在對 話中"，"真的沒啥好說的，這只是一個過程" Lee's agent, Darek Braunecker, told the Star-Telegram that he and his client appreciated the gesture. Lee的經紀人Darek Braunecker告訴Star-Telegram他和他的委託人對於遊騎兵隊來家裡拜 訪打招呼表示讚賞。 "It was a demonstration of the club's level of interest in the player," Braunecker said. "It's not that we requested it. It's not that Cliff needed it. It was appreciated." Braunecker表示這宣示球隊對球員重視的程度。這不是我們請他們(遊騎兵隊高層)做的。 A source told the New York Post that the Rangers are willing to offer Lee a five-year deal, and that they believe the Yankees are willing to pay Lee up to $23 million per season. In addition, the Rangers believe the Yankees already have made a five- or six-year offer to Lee. 有消息告訴New York Post願意提供給Lee五年長度的合約，而他們相信洋基隊願意付給Lee 每年23M鎂的合約。遊騎兵隊也相信洋基隊已經提出五或六年的合約給Lee。 "They want to know soon on Lee," the source told the New York Post, noting that Texas has backup plans if New York eventually wins the bidding war for the ace. 他們希望儘快了解Lee的想法。如果洋基隊在合約競標上贏了，遊騎兵隊有替代方案。 Braunecker wouldn't comment specifically about whether Lee has received any offers yet. "We are starting to move stuff along," he told the New York Post. Braunecker不會說Lee到底收到各隊的合約邀請與否。 The Rangers will continue to try to sell the proximity to Lee's home and the lack of a state sales tax in Texas as incentives for Lee, but the New York Post reports most in baseball believe the Yankees ultimately will offer the most money. 遊騎兵隊持續灌輸Lee，遊騎兵隊是離Arkansas最近的球隊，而且在德州稅率也比較低。但 是New York Post報導洋基隊將會提出最肥的合約。 One of the Rangers' backup plans -- should they fail to re-sign Lee -- is believed to be Royals' ace Zack Greinke. Kansas City is willing to trade the 2009 AL Cy Young award winner in exchange for a "blockbuster return," according to The Kansas City Star. 遊騎兵隊的替補方案之一:網羅皇家隊的王牌投手Zack Greinke。 新聞來源: http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/feed/2010-11/cliff-lee/story/rangers-preparing -an-offer-for-cliff-lee -- 2010 Texas Rangers Postseason Franchise Roster (SP)Cliff Lee (C)Benjie Molina (1B)Mitch Moreland (2B)Ian Kinsler (SS)Elvis Andrus (3B)Michael Young (LF)David Murphy (CF)Josh Hamilton (RF)Nelson Cruz (DH)Vladimir Guerrero (SP)C.J.
