Bryce Harper defends Mike Trout comments: 'If I didn't mean it, I wouldn't
have said it'
Bryce Harper捍衛他說要招募Mike Trout的評論: 若我不是認真的，我就不會說了
Tampering or not, Bryce Harper didn't back away from his comments about
recruiting Mike Trout to the Philadelphia Phillies.
不管有沒有違規招募，Bryce Harper沒有收回他要招募Mike Trout到費城人打球的評論。
"If I didn't mean it," the new Phillies outfielder said, "I wouldn't have
said it."
「若我不是認真的，」這位費城人的新外野手說，「我就不會說出來的。」
Harper, who signed a 13-year, $330 million deal last week, caused a stir
Tuesday when he told a local Philadelphia radio show he would campaign for
the two-time American League MVP if the Los Angeles Angels outfielder became
a free agent after the 2020 season.
Harper上一周簽下了13年3億3000萬鎂的合約，一席在費城廣播節目上講說他要幫費城人招
募兩屆美聯MVP的話掀起了一陣波瀾。
"If you don’t think I’m not gonna call Mike Trout in 2020 to have him come
to Philly, you’re crazy,” said Harper.
「如果你不認為我在2020年不會打電話給Mike Trout找他來費城人，你一定是瘋了，」
Harper說。
That didn't sit well with Angels general manager Billy Eppler, who contacted
MLB about a possible tampering violation.
這番話讓天使總管Billy Eppler很不開心，就聯絡了聯盟，覺得Harper有違規招募。
"We're in the process of gathering information about the comments and the
context in which they were made," said MLB commissionRob Manfred, speaking to
a group of Boston business executives on Wednesday. "We're talking to both
clubs and when we're ready to decide whether it did or it didn't we'll let
you know."
「我們現在正在蒐集有關這些評論內容的資料，」MLB主席Rob Manfred星期三的時候說。
「我們跟兩個球團都有在對話，當我們有了決定，不管是違規或是沒有違規，都一定會公
佈給大家知道。」
Trout, who is from Millville, New Jersey, which is near Philadelphia, is
under contract with the Angels for another two years.
Trout是來自於費城旁邊的紐澤西州的Millville，與天使還有兩年的合約。
Harper's comments made its way to Angels camp in Tempe, Arizona. When
approached by media members Wednesday, Trout didn't have much to say about
Harper's comment.
Harper的評論也很快傳到了天使春訓所在地，亞利桑納的Tempe。星期三的時候Trout被記
者問到有關Harper的評論，Trout沒有說什麼。
"Obviously I saw it," he told the Orange County Register. "He’s excited. He’
s excited about his team. I have no control what he says."
「當然我有看到，」他跟記者說到。「他很興奮，對費城人這支球隊感到興奮，我沒有辦
法控制他要講什麼話。」
