New Yank Fried's priorities? World Series ... and food for his dog Apollo

The three words lingered in Max Fried’s mind, days after he had been escorted
on a tour of the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, representing the next step
in the Yankees’ courtship of the touted left-hander. He recounted the sequen
ce of those large letters, printed for all passersby to consume: “Prepare. Co
mpete. Win.”
當阿炸參觀完洋基球場之後，他的感想只有三個詞：準備、競爭、贏球。（贏球、贏球、
還是他X的贏球？）
Considering his options in the cluttered arena of free agency, that simple man
tra seemed to provide clarity. As he slipped on a pinstriped No. 54 jersey for
the first time, Fried said he was ready to embrace the weight of responsibili
ty and expectations that uniform signifies, confirming that the Bronx is exact
ly where he wants to be.
在眾多的追求者當中，當阿炸心中浮現出這樣的感想之後，加盟洋基這個決定立刻在他腦
海中變得清晰了起來。記者會上，披上他的54號條紋衣後，他也表明他已經準備好迎接外
界對於他的期許以及承擔相對應的責任。並且也再次重申了他很想為洋基投球。
“When I get out there, I’m going to leave everything out there and compete t
o the best of my abilities,” Fried said. “The one thing that we’re out here
to do is to win. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the Yankees and pa
rt of this organization.”
阿炸說：「一旦我走上投手丘，我就一定會全力以赴。我們來這裡只為了一件事：贏球。
我非常開心也非常期待能夠成為洋基的一份子。」
Fried, 30, was formally introduced on Wednesday in a Yankee Stadium news confe
rence, eight days after agreeing to an eight-year, $218 million contract that
represents the largest deal ever issued to a left-handed pitcher, and the four
th largest for any pitcher.
洋基在昨天幫今年剛滿30的阿炸舉行了加盟記者會，在雙方簽署了一份8y/218M的合約之
後。這份合約也是左投手有史以來的最大張合約，並且是所有投手中第四大張的合約。
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman described Fried as a “warrior on the mo
und” and a “genuine, down-to-earth human being” outside the lines
