The Brewers will continue discussing a potential contract extension with Zack
Greinke throughout the season.
A number of clubs prefer to table talks once Opening Day arrives.
雖然在傳統上,球隊傾向在球季開始前就談好合約,但釀酒人仍會在球季開打後,
持續與ZacK Greinke的經紀人討論可能的續約。
"I talked to his agent yesterday; we'll talk again on Monday," general
manager Doug Melvin said. "There's no timeline on it. I think we have to get
away from the idea that there's a deadline on opening day.
「我昨天才跟他經紀人談過,我們禮拜一還會再討論。」釀酒人總管Doug Melvin
表示:「我們沒有時間表,而且我認為我們應該拋開『球季開幕日就是談約期限』
的想法。」
"Sometimes players say they want to focus on the season and that's fine. I
respect that. But that doesn't mean the GM and the agent won't talk behind
the scenes. We want him to go out and have a big year."
「有許多時候,球員們會說想要在球季進行時保持專注,那很好,我也尊重他們。
但這不表示球隊高層與他們的經紀人就不能在幕後洽談。我們會讓他走出球場
並在這一年有好表現。」
Milwaukee worked out a five-year, $105 million extension last April with
left-fielder Ryan Braun.
釀酒人去年四月才曾經用五年超過一億美金的價碼延長左外野手Ryan Braun的合約。
