Outfielder-first baseman signs with YankeesBy Enrique Rojas

SANTIAGO, Dominican Republic -- The New York Yankees signed Cuban prospect
Juan Miranda to a four-year contract worth $2 million, the player told
ESPNdeportes.com.
聖地牙哥，多明尼加共和國訊 -- 紐約洋基隊與古巴球員璜。米蘭達簽下四年兩
百萬美元的合約。

The deal, which includes a signing bonus of $500,000, is a major league
contract and requires the Yankees to place the outfielder-first baseman on
their 40-man roster.
這是一分外加簽約金五十萬美元的大聯盟合約，洋基必須把這位外野--一壘手放
在四十人輪值名單中。

The signing was confirmed by a Yankees official who spoke on the condition of
anonymity.
此一簽約動作已經由一位不願具名的洋基隊官方人士證實。

"In Cuba I grew up dreaming of playing in the big leagues, but I never
thought it would be possible, much less with the Yankees," the 23-year-old
Miranda said.
「我在古巴長大，夢想著可以在大聯盟打球，但是我從來沒有想到有一天它能成
真，更沒想到會是洋基隊」廿三歲的米蘭達如是說。

The left-handed-hitting Miranda was on the Cuban national team from 2001
until defecting to the Dominican in early 2004 following two previous
unsuccessful attempts to leave Cuba by raft. Miranda gained Dominican
citizenship last year. He left behind his parents and three brothers in the
Cuban province of Pinar del Rio.
這位左打者，米蘭達，從2001年起成為古巴國家代表隊成員，直到他經歷兩次試
圖以木筏逃離古巴後，在2004年初叛逃至多明尼加。米蘭達在去年取得多明尼加
國民身分。他把他的雙親及三個兄弟留在古巴彼納德里歐省。

Miranda worked out for several major league scouts in the Dominican Republic
over the last two years, but it wasn't until last week, after passing a team
physical, that he completed the deal with the Yankees.
在過去兩年，米蘭達多次參加大聯盟球探在多明尼加共和國的測試，但是直到上
個星期，當他通過體檢後，他終於與洋基隊簽約。

"There were a lot of teams interested, but they didn't match my contract
expectations," Miranda said. "The Los Angeles Dodgers were close."
米蘭達說：「有許多球隊表達出他們的興趣，但是他們並沒有達到我對合約的期
望，洛杉磯道奇隊就很接近。」

"Miranda is projected to hit over 20 home runs and hit .280," the Yankees
official told ESPNdeportes.com. "He doesn't swing at bad pitches."
洋基官方人員說：「米蘭達被預期能達到.280打擊率與20支以上的全壘打，而且
他不會揮擊壞球。」
