Shohei Ohtani eliminates Yankees and several others teams from consideration;
Mariners considered a finalist
大谷排除了洋基還有其他幾支隊伍
The pursuit of Shohei Ohtani has a few less suitors, including the perceived
favorite being eliminated from consideration.
追逐大谷的追求者現在少了幾個，其中一些本來被認為是佼佼者的已經被踢出去了。
On Sunday evening, multiple reports from the East Coast emerged that the
Japanese hitting and pitching phenom would not consider signing with the New
York Yankees. General manager Brian Cashman confirmed to reporters that they
were out of the bidding.
星期日傍晚，好幾份來自美國東岸的報導說大谷不會考慮跟洋基簽約，洋基總管Cashman也
證實他們已經被剔除在競逐名單上了。
Besides the Yankees, multiple other teams were informed that they were no
longer in the running for Ohtani, including the Red Sox, Mets, Blue Jays,
Pirates, Cardinals, Rays, Nationals, Diamondbacks, A’s, Braves and White
Sox. Both the Yankees ($3.5 million) and Pirates ($2.55 million) were among
the top teams in terms of international bonus money to offer Ohtani. The
Mariners have $1.55 million. The Rangers have the most to offer at $3.53
million. Since he’s only age 23, Ohtani is subject to signing a minor league
contract and can only be offered a bonus from a team’s international pool.
除了洋基，其他幾支也被通知不會參予追求大谷，包括紅襪，梅子，藍鳥，海盜，紅雀，
光芒，國民，響尾蛇，運動家，勇士，跟白襪。洋基(350萬鎂)跟海盜(255萬鎂)是兩隊可
以出最高簽約金的兩隊；水手155萬鎂，遊騎兵353萬鎂。因為大谷只有23歲，所以他只能
獲得小聯盟約，然後球隊可以給他國際簽約金。
Perhaps the most interesting aspect was Cashman telling reporters that being
a large-market team on the East Coast hurt the Yankees and that Ohtani seems
to be favoring smaller market, West Coast teams.
從Cashman跟記者說的，最有趣的部份大概是洋基是東岸大市場的球隊讓洋基從追逐大谷的
行列離開，大谷似乎喜歡西岸小市場球隊。
Hmm … a team like the Mariners?
嗯....像是水手隊?
Seattle general manager Jerry Dipoto has made it very clear that signing
Ohtani was their top priority of the offseason, saying the organization would
bring it’s “A-game” to the process, including a multi-faceted presentation
complete with a movie touting the city and the team.
水手總管Dipoto很明確的表示，季後最重要的一件事就是把大谷帶回家，說球團將會展現
最大的努力完成這個任務，包括各方面的展示，譬如一部影片展示西雅圖跟水手隊等。
Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan reported that the Mariners and Giants are
considered finalists. The Mariners would not confirm Passan’s report or if
they are headed to Los Angeles next week to meet with Ohtani. Every
indication is that they want be respectful the process and Ohtani’s wishes.
But baseball sources confirmed Passan’s report that the Mariners are a
finalist in the process. The Padres and Dodgers also remain in contention per
reports.
雅虎運動記者Passan報導，水手跟巨人被認為是最後兩個決選者。水手對於Passan的報導
沒有證實，也沒有證實他們下星期是不是要去LA跟大谷面談。所有跡象顯示水手球團想展
現尊重整個競標過程及大谷的意願，但是一些消息來源也證實Passan的報導，水手是最後
的決選者，教士跟道奇還在競爭者的名單中。
The negotiating window runs till Dec. 22.
協商時間到12/22截止。
While much is being reported on the situation with Ohtani, sources conclude
that understanding what Ohtani is ultimately looking for in a team isn’t a
given. It’s considered speculation at best. And that really only Ohtani and
his agent Nez Balelo truly know what he’s looking for in a team and playing
scenario.
已經有許多報導在討論大谷的狀況，消息來源指出要知道大谷到底要甚麼是不可能的，現
在都是一堆的推測而已，只有大谷自己跟他的經紀人Balelo真正知道大谷想要甚麼東西，
跟他將來想要怎麼打。
On the first episode of the Mariners’ new organizational podcast, “The
Wheelhouse,” general manager Jerry Dipoto made it clear Seattle would pursue
Ohtani aggressively.
在水手隊的podcast，總管Dipoto明確表示他們會非常積極追求大谷。
Passan reported Saturday that Ohtani had begun to schedule meetings with
teams for this week. The negotiating window runs through Dec. 22.
Passan星期六報導大谷開始會在這個星期跟球隊面談。
