Bryce Harper on Recruiting Mike Trout: 'You're Crazy' If You Think I Won't
Call
Bryce Harper對於招募Mike Trout: 若你認為我不會打電話的話 你一定是瘋子
Bryce Harper has gone from subtle referencing to outright recruiting Mike
Trout to join the Philadelphia Phillies.
Bryce Harper已經從低調轉高調，要招募Mike Trout到費城一起打球了。
"If you don't think I'm gonna call Mike Trout to come to Philly in 2020,
you're crazy," Harper said Tuesday, per SportsRadio 94WIP.
「如果你不認為我會在2020的時候打電話給Mike Trout，找他一起來費城打球，那你一定
是瘋子，」Harper星期二的時候在廣播節目說到。
Trout, a lifelong Phillies fan, will become a free agent following the 2020
season. He's not backed down from the possibility in public comments, though
he's consistently said he enjoys playing for the Angels.
Trout一直都是費城人粉，在2020後會成為FA。雖然他一直說他很享受在天使隊打球，他也
始終沒有公開表示排除替費城人打球的可能性。
"I don't think I went a day this offseason without someone saying, 'When are
you coming to Philly?'" Trout told reporters last month. "I can't predict the
future. I don't know."
「我在休賽季的時候每天都有人說，『你什麼時候要去費城人？』」Trout上個月跟記者
說。「我不能未卜先知，我不知道。」
Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million deal with the Phillies this offseason,
the largest contract in North American sports history. The 2015 NL MVP said
he spoke to Trout throughout his free-agency process to get a better idea of
what to expect in Philadelphia.
Harper跟費城人簽下了13年3億3000萬鎂的合約，是北美運動史上最大筆的合約。這2015年
國聯MVP說他在整個FA過程都有跟Trout談，更了解了費城人這球隊。
"Just seeing where he grew up in Philly, things like that," Harper told
reporters. "I played with him in the [Arizona] Fall League [in 2011], and
we've kept in contact over the last seven years. But just trying to get a
hometown kid to tell me what he felt, how he felt about the organization and
the area and things like that. He's a kid who grew up seeing the Phillies
have success, so going through those times with the fans and things like
that. It was good to get his perspective and hear how he felt."
「就是看看他對於費城人的看法，和一些相關的，」Harper跟記者說。「我在2011年的秋
季聯盟跟他一起打球，從那之後這七年我們一直有在聯絡。但是我只是想從在當地長大的
人跟我說他的看法，他對費城人這支隊伍的感覺，費城這個地方以及其他的。他從小就看
費城人打球，看著他們成功，看著他們跟球迷互動，跟其他的事情。可以聽到他的看法，
知道他的感覺，那很棒。」
Harper also took time out of his press conference to not-so-subtly hint at
the Phillies going after Trout.
在記者會後，Harper也花了點時間，一點也不低調的暗示費城人會追逐Trout。
"I'm making [$26 million] a year. That's going to be able to bring some other
guys in as well to build up this organization. There's another guy in about
two years that comes off the books. We'll see what happens with that," Harper
said.
「我一年拿2600萬鎂，應該還有能力可以找到其他一些球員可以打造這支球隊的。有個傢
伙再大概兩年就會沒約了，我們看看到時候會發生什麼事，」Harper說。
Trout will undoubtedly eclipse the contract signed by Harper when he becomes
a free agent. The two-time AL MVP has been the best player in baseball since
his arrival. He has 23 more wins above replacement than any other hitter
since 2011, per FanGraphs.
當Trout成為FA的話，他可以拿到的約無疑會讓Harper的約相形失色，他在進入MLB後拿到
兩次美聯MVP，一直都是棒球界裡的最佳球員。根據FanGraphs，從2011年後，他的WAR就領
先其他打者達23。
