NEW YORK -- The Yankees appear to be closing in on a deal with right-hander
Kyle Farnsworth, which would give New York a young, hard-throwing arm to set
up closer Mariano Rivera.
One baseball official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that
Farnsworth will ink a three-year contract worth $15-17 million. The deal
could be announced as early as Wednesday.
有跡象顯示洋基即將跟右投Kyle Farnsworth達成協議，為紐約帶來一位年輕，強臂
的後援投手來替Mo做set-up的工作。

General manager Brian Cashman wouldn't confirm that Farnsworth was close to
signing.
Cashman不願意證實洋基跟Farnsworth接近簽約階段。

"I've got nothing to report," Cashman said. "We're engaging a lot of
different guys. If it leads somewhere, we'll make an announcement."
"我沒有什麼要宣佈的，"Cashman說。"我們努力於爭取許多不同的選手。如果有任何結果，
我們會公開宣布。"

Farnsworth, who turns 30 in April, went 1-1 with 16 saves for the Tigers and
Braves last season, posting a 2.19 ERA. He struck out 87 batters in 70
innings, holding opponents to a .180 average in 72 appearances.
Farnsworth在明年四月將滿30歲，去年為底特律老虎跟亞特蘭大勇士拿下一勝一敗，
16次救援成功的成績，擁有2.19的防禦率。他在70局中演出87次三振，72次出賽的平均
對手打擊率是一成八零。

Farnsworth's signing doesn't necessarily spell the end of Tom Gordon's tenure
in the Bronx, as the Yankees continue to negotiate with the 38-year-old
right-hander.
簽下Farnsworth的合約並不代表Tom Gordon必須要離開Bronx，因為洋基和這位38歲投手
的協商正在持續當中。

Gordon, who is seeking a three-year deal, has drawn interest from the Orioles
and Phillies, two teams looking to add a closer after B.J. Ryan signed with
the Blue Jays and Billy Wagner signed with the Mets.
Gordon希望有三年的合約，因為B.J.Ryan與藍鳥簽約和Billy Wagner成為大都會人，
金鶯和費城人都希望爭取Gordon成為他們的新終結者。

The Indians, Tigers and Red Sox have also expressed interest in Gordon, with
some of those teams willing to give him a three-year deal. A source with
knowledge of the negotiations said Tuesday night that Gordon was "not close"
to making a decision.
印地安人、老虎、紅襪都表達對Gordon的興趣，而這些隊伍中有些願意給他三年合約。
根據參與協商的消息在星期二晚上指出，Gordon離做出決定還有一段距離。
