一樣是Bob這篇 https://reurl.cc/ZZQla6 But in conversations and interviews with general managers, executives and agents the past week, they are boldly predicting that the hot stove is about to become enflamed after Thanksgiving, with a flurry of trades, and marquee free agent si gnings filling the days and nights at the annual baseball winter meetings beginn ing Dec. 8 in Dallas. 上周和聯盟總管/經紀人聊過後 他們都預測FA市場將在感恩節後開始熱起來 冬季會議上將有很多FA簽約 “It’s not going to be like a year ago when the winter meetings were an embarra ssment," one prominent agent said. “Nothing happened... This year is different. Everyone is much more aggressive, or at least they’re acting like it." 一位經紀人表示去年的現象今年將不再發生 表示各球隊都很積極 The same mantra is being repeated by teams and executives, saying that all but p erhaps just the Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins have playoff dreams dancing in their heads. But there's a question they are all asking among themselves. “Who has the money, and who doesn’t?" one GM said. “Everyone is talking a big game, but no one really knows for sure. We’re about to find out." 球團人士也是同樣看法 There really are only four teams that are seriously in play for Soto: The Mets, the Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox. Soto的認真玩家有四隊 梅子 洋基 藍鳥 紅襪 The Los Angeles Dodgers just won a World Series without Soto, and it wasn’t muc h of an inconvenience to drive through traffic across town, and meet with Soto a nd agent Scott Boras.

They haven’t had a single conversation with Boras to express interest in Soto. 至於費城人是完全沒談 The Mets are the clear-cut favorite, executives say, simply because they don’t believe there’s a soul who will outbid owner Steve Cohen, while Yankees have a price in mind that they don’t want to exceed. 目前是看好梅子 The Houston Astros would love to have Alex Bregman back on a six-year deal worth about $156 million, but Bregman is seeking a deal worth at least $200 million. 太空人很樂意用六年156M價碼帶回Alex Bregman 但他想要200M The Baltimore Orioles, after being bounced out of the playoffs in the first roun d the past two seasons, are being much more aggressive in talks with agents and clubs after their passive trade deadline approach in 2024. 金鶯相比今年交易大限的消極 這個冬天顯得積極了起來 The (Sacramento) Athletics plan to spend money, increasing their payroll to abou t $100 million, keeping owners and the players association off their back with t he revenue sharing money they receive. 綠帽計畫將團隊薪資拉高到一億美金 Teams believe that the Reds’ payroll will rise considering their investment in manager Terry Francona. 在紅人花不少錢簽下Terry Francona後 各隊認為他們將提高團隊薪資 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.162.31.230 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1732546157.A.A5E.html
