Word is, the Astros and Justin Verlander are “far apart” in talks. Verlander s
eeks $130 million for three years (the Max Scherzer deal), and the Astros, with
their deep rotation, seem pessimistic on Verlander, which may open things up for
the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees.
“Quietly, they prefer not to sign him for three years. Verlander was great in-s
eason but they carried him in the postseason,” one person familiar with the Ast
ros’ thinking said. “No one [in Houston] wants to go three [years],” another
source adds.
太空人目前和Justin Verlander雙方差距很多
後者想要薛蛇的合約，但前者不想要給三年
2.
While Jacob deGrom still appears to be the Mets’ top choice, and they’d likely
go three years for him at close to $40 million per, word is the Mets are “temp
ted” by a Verlander-Scherzer reunion. They aim to sign one among deGrom, Verlan
der and Carlos Rodon, plus one or two more starters.
雖然地瓜仍是梅子的頭號目標
但它們對於讓Verlander、Scherzer重聚也有興趣
他們目標是地瓜、V老、羅東簽一位

Willson Contreras’ most likely landing spots: Astros or Cardinals. The Marlins
checked in but he’s pricey.
Willson Contreras最有可能落點:太空人或是紅雀
而馬林魚也是有興趣，但Contreras很貴
4.
Christian Vazquez may be Plan B for the Cardinals, and he, too, has a nice marke
t
Christian Vazquez可能是紅雀沒搶到Willson Contreras的B計畫
5.
The Astros also seek a corner outfielder, and if Michael Brantley proves healthy
, he’s the “perfect fit and value.”
太空人也在尋求角落外野手
而如果Michael Brantley健康的話，將是最合適的人選
6.
The Orioles are checking on top shortstops, but with the need less than overwhel
ming, and bigger market teams involved, it’s more likely they sign starting pit
chers.
金鶯有在看FA頂級SS
但它們比較有可能要去簽SP
7.
The center-field market is thin, and Pirates star Bryan Reynolds’ value has onl
y risen. While it remains unlikely he will be dealt, the Pirates would listen. T
hey are said “open-minded,” but the timing is off, as they’d like to take a s
tep forward now.
市面上的中外野手很少
所以海盜Bryan Reynolds價值只增不減
但海盜不太可能賣
8.
The Mets’ Plan B in center field for now is moving Starling Marte there.
梅子中外野的B計畫是把Starling Marte移防過去
