Three trades that should happen right now
內文：
By Jim Duquette / MLB.com | December 23rd, 2015
While the prices on the free-agent market continue to be exorbitant, with no
real change in sight, front offices throughout baseball continue to work on
trade possibilities as an alternative.
Below are three trades that make too much sense not to happen right now.
‧ Hot Stove Tracker
1. Rays trade RHPs Jake Odorizzi and Brad Boxberger to the Dodgers
Having struck out on several other of their off season options, the Dodgers
match up with the Rays for a larger trade. Odorizzi is a clear No. 2 or No. 3
starter who is under control for the next four years, while fitting into the
Dodgers' recent strategy of reducing the payroll by trading for young talent.
Boxberger is overpowering (career 11.9 strikeouts per nine innings) and is
also under control for four more years. He will give the Dodgers another
power arm to pair with Kenley Jansen in the bullpen.
作者提及Jake Odorizzi可勝任No. 2 或 No. 3的SP，而且還可以便宜用四年很符合近年
道奇隊的策略──藉由啟用新人來降低payroll。Boxberger同理，可以跟Kenley Jansen
組成牛棚堅強的防線。
In return, the Rays would be targeting a package featuring left-hander Julio
Urias (The Dodgers' No. 2 prospect), righty Jose DeLeon (No. 3 prospect) and
second baseman Micah Johnson (No. 8), as well as some other mid-level
prospects. Urias, DeLeon and Johnson are all close to contributing at the
Major League level, and would balance out the fact that they would be giving
up a pair of cost-controlled impact players.
光芒可以鎖定Julio Urias (No. 2 prospect), 右投Jose DeLeon (No. 3 prospect) 和
2B Micah Johnson (No. 8)，還有其他中階潛力新秀。前面三者距離MLB不遠，也可以平衡
一下大約帶來的負擔。
2. Reds trade OF Jay Bruce to the Royals
The Royals need a left-handed-hitting outfielder to replace Alex Gordon, who
looks like he will price himself out of Kansas City. Further, the Royals
currently have Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando penciled in right field and
left field, which suggests they will make an upgrade in at least one of those
spots. Enter Bruce, an already-proven commodity who could hit in the middle
of the Royals' lineup and provide power to a mostly contact-oriented lineup.
Also, Bruce comes with a reasonable salary of $12.5 million for this season
plus a $13 million club option for 2017.
皇家隊需要一位外野左打者來取代Alex Gordon，因為看起來他會藉由離開堪薩斯測試水
溫。而皇家方面，雖有Jarrod Dyson跟Paulo Orlando可以分擔左右外野，但也代表著需要
一位來提升外野深度。Bruce的加盟有助於皇家隊的打線，並提升以contact為主的打線一
些Power，Bruce的合理薪水為12.5MM，2017年還有13MM的球隊選擇權。
Since the two teams made a trade over the summer for Johnny Cueto, the Reds
should know the Royals' system very well, so any deal for Bruce would have to
include two of the following three players: right-hander Ashe Russell (Kansas
City's No. 2 prospect), righty Miguel Almonte (No. 4) and outfielder Bubba
Starling (No. 5), plus one other player. For the Royals, this is a perfect
solution to a pricey Gordon if they cannot sign him and the rebuilding Reds
should feel extremely comfortable in what they are receiving in return,
having scouted the Royals' system extensively.
因為在2015年的Cueto交易，紅人對皇家的農場系統有一定了解，所以若是交易Bruce可能
需要下列潛力新秀：Ashe Russell (No. 2 prospect), 右投Miguel Almonte (No. 4)
和OF Bubba Starling (No. 5)，和一位其他球員。對皇家來說，這可以作為Gordon簽不回
來的備案；對紅人來說，若這樁交易成真有助於他們重建。
3. Brewers trade C Jonathan Lucroy to the Angels
Angels general manager Billy Eppler has been very aggressive in his first few
months on the job, shoring up the left side of his infield by acquiring
Andrelton Simmons and Yunel Escobar. Now he can continue the transformation
by trading for a catcher, which is a bit of a weakness for the Angels, who
currently have Geovany Soto and Carlos Perez at the top of the depth chart.
天使隊GMBilly Eppler今年休季動作頻頻，除了交易來Andrelton Simmons跟Yunel
Escobar之外，他還需要交易來一位捕手，這也是天使隊較弱的一環，目前他們在此有
Geovany Soto 跟 Carlos Perez。
Lucroy's value took a bit of a hit after an injury-plagued year that limited
him to 103 games and a .717 OPS. That said, he won't turn 30 until June, is
still a premium defender, and is due just $4 million this year with a $5.23
million team option for 2017.
Lucroy的價值在他受傷後有點打了折扣，出賽了103場比賽及貢獻.717的OPS。另一方面，
他在六月前還未滿30歲，他仍是位優秀的防守者，薪水明年分別是4MM及2017年的球隊選擇
權5.23MM。
New Brewers GM David Sterns can't command as much in terms of premium
prospects as he would like for Lucroy, but he could still make a good deal
for his organization's long term health by getting right-hander Victor
Alcantara (The Angels' No. 1 prospect), catcher Taylor Ward (No. 5 prospect),
as well as another mid-level player.
新任釀酒人隊GM David Sterns可藉由Lucroy的交易，幫助他們長遠的發展，可能的新秀人
選如Victor Alcantara (No. 1 prospect), 捕手 Taylor Ward (No. 5 prospect)和一位
中階潛力新秀。
