A-Rod announcement upsets MLB
Selig wanted embargo on stories until end of World Series
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com

大檸檬高層相當不滿A-Rod宣告脫逃的時間點，一切的"故事"應該
等世界大賽以後再說


DENVER -- Commissioner Bud Selig made it clear during the World Series
that an embargo had been placed on all Major League Baseball stories
until the sport's top event had come to an end.
Thus on Monday, MLB reacted with aggravation over news of Alex Rodriguez
opting out of his contract with the Yankees breaking during Sunday night's
Game 4 at Coors Field.

MLB執行長早下達禁令，任何事情等世界大賽結束以後再說。所以當昨晚得知A-Rod
脫逃的消息時，非常惱怒。

The Red Sox defeated the Rockies, 4-3, to sweep the World Series for the
second time in four years, but long before the game ended, the news had
been released and confirmed by Scott Boras, Rodriquez's agent.
昨晚比賽結束前波拉斯就證實了這消息

"We were very disappointed that Scott Boras would try to upstage our
premiere baseball event of the season with his announcement," Bob DuPuy,
MLB's president and chief operating officer, said in an e-mail statement
sent out to various media outlets on Monday, including MLB.com.
想當然耳對波拉斯這種搶焦點的舉動很不滿

"There was no reason to make an announcement last night other than to try
to put his selfish interests and that of one individual player above the
overall good of the game. Last night and today belong to the Boston Red Sox,
who should be celebrated for their achievement, and to the Colorado Rockies,
who made such an unbelievable run to the World Series."
昨晚是屬於紅襪也屬於落磯，選在納種時機宣布此消息根本是無理而且自私

Boras followed by issuing his own statement -- of apology.
波拉斯為這件事道歉

"I apologize to the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies and their players,
Major League Baseball and its players, and baseball fans everywhere for that
interference," Boras said. "The teams and players involved deserved to be
the focus of the evening and honored with the utmost respect. The unfortunate
result was not my intent, but is solely my fault. I could have handled this
situation better, and for that I am truly sorry."
道歉場面話，他說他應該要處理得更好

Selig said on Saturday night that he had asked all those associated with
MLB, including the 30 clubs, to refrain from making any major announcements
until after the World Series.
再次重伸MLB高層已經與球團約定，任何重大事項都等世界大賽後再宣佈

That's a common practice, although a rare exception was made in 2006 by
the overarching news that MLB and the Players Association had signed a new
six-year basic agreement during the Cardinals' five-game victory over the
Tigers, ensuring labor peace for the sport well into the next decade.
去年世界大賽期間MLB與球員工會簽下六年協定，同時維護雙方權利

Selig said he was mostly concerned with any developments coming out of New
York, including a replacement for Yankees manager Joe Torre. Joe Girardi is
in negotiations for the job.
執行長說他當然關心洋基的狀況

"Look, I mean every club has to do what they think is right," Selig said.
"My only view once the World Series starts is that there aren't any
announcements. What everyone does internally isn't an issue. They're
entitled to do things now. After all, they've got to plan. But I'm old
fashioned. This is the World Series. And if all those clubs were in the
World Series and somebody announced something, they'd be mad. So I'd like
the same respect shown."
但是焦點應該放在世界大賽

Rodriguez had 10 days after the end of the World Series to determine whether
he wanted to opt out of the 10-year deal he signed with Texas prior to the
2001 season. So there was no necessity to make the announcement on Sunday
night, MLB officials reasoned. In doing so, he left $81 million on the table:
$27 million for each of the last three seasons.
大賽後10天是A-Rod的期限，所以選在昨晚宣布真的是很沒必要

The announcement also came shortly after Rodriguez was honored for the fourth
time with the Hank Aaron Award as the top offensive player in the American
League. Rodriguez didn't show up for the presentation press conference,
although Milwaukee's Prince Fielder, who won for the National League, was
there and was on the dais to the right of Aaron, who praised Fielder
effusively and never mentioned Rodriguez.
而且這消息在A-Rod獲得漢克阿倫獎之後沒多久就放出來

A-Rod's failure to appear was not considered an insult to either Aaron or
Selig, Rich Levin, a spokesman for the Commissioner, said on Monday. The
right-handed-hitting slugger who hit 755 career homers and Selig have been
friends for 50 years. Selig was owner of the Brewers, the team for which
Aaron finished his 23-year career in 1976. The award was established in 1999
on the 25th anniversary of Aaron hitting his 715th homer to pass Babe Ruth
at the time into first place on MLB's all-time list.
在說漢克阿倫的豐功偉業

A-Rod's appearance, though, certainly would have been a distraction, Levin
acknowledged, considering the focus on his immediate future and almost
certain questions about Torre's departure from the Yankees after 12 seasons,
all of them concluding with the team making the playoffs.
A-Rod如果去頒獎典禮，可能會分散此獎項的注意力，大家都想知道他對未來的決
定以及一些關於托爺去的看法

"Let's put it this way: We weren't surprised that A-Rod didn't show up,"
said Levin, who added that Rodriguez was not asked by MLB to refrain from
attending.
A-Rod沒參加頒獎典禮似乎不讓人意外，但是MLB可沒要求他不要去參加




-----------------------------------------------------------------------
我個人很可惜看到A-Rod離開洋基，卻也希望他找到更適合的球隊去，
創造更多紀錄。

只不過，這一招真的不漂亮，連大聯盟高層都怒了。
