Report: Shin-Soo Choo to Skip World Baseball Classic, Focus on Contract Year
拼合約年─秋信守將缺席經典賽
http://t.co/Ccbkhgo4
It’s no secret that Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is on the trading block.
秋信守可能被交易已經不是秘密了。
The Red Sox are reportedly one of the teams interested in acquiring the
outfielder’s services and have been reportedly brainstorming packages to
acquire Choo and/or Justin Masterson. But in order to focus on his last year
before free agency –– and the likelihood of switching teams –– Choo has
elected to skip the World Baseball Classic, according to FOXSports.com.
紅襪是其中一個對秋信守有興趣的球隊，大家都在想包裹怎麼包(或是拿Masterson)。
明年將成為FA的秋信守選擇不打經典賽。
The 30-year-old’s absence will be a big blow to South Korea, who made it to
the finals in 2009 before falling to Japan in the finals in 10 innings. He was
the lone major league player on the South Korean team.
30歲的秋信守的缺席將嚴重衝擊09年打入冠軍戰的韓國隊，因為他是國家隊中唯一在MLB
打球的韓國人。
Choo, who is represented by Scott Boras, contributed key home runs en route to
leading South Korea on its magical run. His presence also sparked South Korea
to the semifinals in 2006. Last season, Choo belted 16 home runs and added 67
RBIs while batting .283. He was also a finalist for the Gold Glove Award in
right field, but was beaten out by former Red Sox outfielder Josh Reddick. But
Choo will use the rest of the offseason to relax and focus on baseball. If he
does wind up in Boston, the decision could be a blessing in disguise for a
club that was plagued by injuries in 2012.
06年韓國也打進準決賽，秋信守的砲火很關鍵。去年差點拿下金手套，最後被Reddick打敗
。秋信守將用休賽期間放鬆並把專注力放在棒球上。
