While trades and free agent signings are extremely rare at these meetings, this
is where the groundwork traditionally starts, only this year feels different, GM
s and executives say.
過往的總管會議， 一般總管都是在做一些前置作業
比較少在這時候就發動交易、敲定自由球員簽約
但根據各球團人士透露，今年感覺會不一樣
This is the first time, they can remember, where 29 of the 30 teams are actually
trying to win.
他們是第一次感受到，30支球隊有29支想贏
The Oakland A’s still are rebuilding and planning to keep payroll as low as pos
sible, but every other team is trying to compete in 2024.
恩對，唯一不想贏的那隻是綠帽XD
Everyone just saw an 84-win team reach the World Series, a $60 million team win
the AL East, and the three-highest spending teams sitting home for the playoffs,
and figure, hey, why not us?
他們看到84勝的隊伍打進世界大賽
看到60M組成的隊伍拿下美東冠軍
團隊薪資前三的隊伍被拒在季後賽大門之外
這讓很多球隊也想拼拼看
“I’ve never seen anything like it," one GM said. “It’s the first time we’ve
had 29 teams all talking about winning. Every team you talk to wants to be aggr
essive.’’
一位總管表示他以前從未遇到這種氛圍
每一隻他有交談的球隊都是想贏的
This means the free-agent market will be hot and heavy, with even teams like the
Tampa Bay Rays telling agents they plan to spend this winter.
這也代表這次FA市場會很熱
連光芒都告訴經紀人說，他們這休賽季打算花錢了
話說當初他們也有開6yr/$150M給自由人過XD
