Re: [新聞] Agent: A-Rod may leave Yankees

※ 引述《eMule (低調)》之銘言：
: 新聞來源  http://tinyurl.com/39owlo
: Scott Boras, the agent for star New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez,
: told CNNMoney.com Saturday that the current uncertainty surrounding the team,
: including its managerial opening, will make it difficult for his client to sign
: with the Yankees by the deadline given by team management.
  阿肉的經紀人波拉斯星期六接受CNNMoney訪問(還真適合他 =..=)時說，最近洋基在
  人事方面的不確定性，讓阿肉很難在球團給的期限前做出決定。

: Rodriguez, the sport's best paid player and the odds-on favorite to win the
: Most Valuable Player award in the American League this year, has a period of 10
: days after the end of the World Series during which he can opt out of his
: current contract and become a free agent.
  阿肉在世界大賽後有十天的考慮時間，決定他是否行使逃脫權而變成自由肉。

: The Yankees have expressed a desire to negotiate a contract extension with
: Rodriguez. But if he opts out of the contract and becomes a free agent, the
: Yankees have said they will not continue negotiations and will allow him to
: sign elsewhere.
  球團方面亟欲與阿肉協商，延長他現有的合約；但是也不只一次放話，一旦阿肉逃脫，
  他們是不會去拉著阿肉的衣角哀求他回來的。(你走吧~你要走就走吧~)

: "I would say that state of flux is a grand issue," said Boras. "I'm not saying
: that information and time can not resolve it. But it's going to take time for
: us to know how these things are resolved. We're talking about a long-term
: contract here, and to make that decision is difficult, knowing there are that
: many issues up in the air."
  "時勢的變化是個重大的議題，"波拉斯說："當然這些事情有賴時間解決。但是我們
   現在談的是個長期約，要在這種情況下做決定真的很困難。"

: Joe Torre, the Yankees manager for the past 12 years, turned down a one-year
: contract extension offer from the team on Thursday. The team said it will now
: begin interviews to select a new manager, although it has not given a time
: frame for a decision.
  洋基教練12年，托瑞爺爺上星期四拒絕了球團開出的一年合約。球團表示目前開始找
  新教練，但是沒給確切的時間軸。

: In addition to the managerial change, George Steinbrenner, the dominating owner
: who has called the shots for the team since he bought it in 1973, is reported
: to be in ill health. The team has acknowledged he is bringing his sons Hal and
: Harold into the decision making process.
  另外大老板老史也因為個人健康因素，漸漸將球隊的事務交給兩個兒子處理。

: Boras says all this will make it difficult for Rodriguez to reach an agreement
: with the Yankees by the deadline. Boras also suggested Rodriguez would want to
: see if the teams' other free agents -- catcher Jorge Posada, reliever Mariano
: Rivera and starting pitcher Andy Pettitte are returning to the team, along with
: outfielder Bobby Abreu, for whom the Yankees hold an option on whether to bring
: him back or let him be a free agent.
  波拉斯說，這一切都讓他們家阿肉繳手絹、猶疑不決；因為阿肉也想知道其他成
  為自由球員的隊友吼黑、Mo以及派派是否會回來，另外還有阿布。

: A-Rod: A $300 million bargain
: "Without Pettitte, Rivera and Posada, it's not the same team," Boras said."He's
: held accountable for being on a playoff team and winning in the playoffs."
: Boras didn't seem concerned over the Yankees' statement that it would not enter
: a bidding war for Rodriguez if he decides to opt out of the contract in the
: next few weeks.
  "沒有了派派、Mo跟吼嘿，洋基不再是同一個球隊，"波拉斯說，"阿肉想去一個能去
   季後賽、能贏季後賽的球隊。"
  波拉斯似乎根本沒將洋基球團的"要走就走吧！"的聲明放在眼裡

: The Yankees have won only one playoff series in the four years that Rodriguez
: has been on the team and he has struggled offensively in most of the postseason
: games.
: The lack of success in the postseason during that time is a primary reason the
: Yankees only offered Torre a one-year deal, laden with incentives for advancing
: through the various levels of the postseason.
  自從阿肉來洋基之後，四年之中球隊只贏了一個季後賽系列戰；這期間阿肉也為了證
  明自己而十分掙扎。因為近年來季後賽成績不理想，球團只給托爺一年約。

: Torre, who led the team to four World Series victories in his first five years
: with the team, said he found the incentive offer to be an "insult" and turned
: down the extension from the Yankees Thursday afternoon.
  談到托爺對這種合約的感受並且拒絕與洋基再續前緣。

: Despite the Yankees frequent statements that the team won't settle for less
: than winning the World Series, Boras said there is some doubt about the
: commitment to winning now that George Steinbrenner's sons have assumed more of
: a leadership role. "We have to see if the Steinbrenner philosophy of old is the
: Steinbrenner philosophies of the present," he said.
  波拉斯說到對於新老板的疑慮，是否"小史哲學"跟"老史哲學"一樣，將贏得世界大
  賽視為使命。

: Still, Boras would not close the door on reaching an agreement on an extension
: with the Yankees without Rodriguez testing the free agent waters. "I've done
: this for over 30 years. I have a real understanding for the ranges of the value
: of the player is. If the team knows the value of the player, they can reach a
: deal. If not, you move forward."
  波拉斯不會輕易地與洋基達成共識，他說："我幹這一行30年了，我知道一個球員
  的價值。如果球團也清楚，那一切好談；如果不，我們就找別的識貨者。"

: But Boras says that Rodriguez's value will be very high. He pointed to an
: estimate from Vince Gennaro, a consultant to numerous major league teams and
: the author of "Diamonds and Dollars," a book about the economics of baseball,
: that calculates that Rodriguez could produce $48 million per year in revenue
: and asset appreciation for the Yankees, allowing the team to pay him $34
: million in salary, along with a 40 percent luxury tax, and still break even.
  但是波拉斯說阿肉可是很貴的。根據一本棒球的經濟書─《鑽石與美元》計算，阿肉
  每年可以帶來4千八百萬美金的收益，所以如果洋基付給他3千4百萬美金的薪水
  外加40%的豪華稅，仍然能夠打平。

: He also mentioned comments from Michael Ozanian, an editor at Forbes magazine
: who is an expert in team valuations, who says the Yankees would do well to pay
: Rodriguez $40 million a year. "It's important that these are independent
: analysis, not just from his advocate," Boras said.
  波拉斯還引用 Forbes雜誌的編輯Michael Ozanian的話，說洋基應該付給阿肉一年
  4千萬，"當然這些數據是出於專家分析統計，而非阿肉的球迷。"

: So the clock is ticking for the Yankees. Boras could be bluffing about how
: concerned A-Rod is to try and get the Yankees to up their offer. But several
: teams would probably be willing to sign A-Rod to a multi-year deal in the
: neighborhood of $300 million to $400 million so you can't blame him.
  所以現在洋基提出條件的時間有限，當然波拉斯盡責地虛張聲勢，好讓洋基提出更高
  的價碼；其他球隊也有可能願意給阿肉複數年合約，價格約在3~4億之間。
  (我的媽呀這數字....)
: Whatever winds up happening, it looks like this off-the-field drama may wind up
: being a lot more exciting than the World Series. After all, only two teams will
: be in the series. Far more could be in the race for the game's best player.
  雖然世界大賽即將開打，但是波拉斯劇場絕對會越來越刺激；當然啦，只有兩支球
  隊在打世界大賽，但是這場薪資戰可是有很多人都在比賽呢。





許多篇新聞內容大都一樣，所以選一篇來翻譯。
感想就是波拉斯很會賣東西.....=..=
不好意思關於數字我還是算錯了...囧...昨晚還特地拿筆出來算說
沒有數字概念 >"<
