Can the Yankees and A-Rod Live Without Each Other? 洋基和阿肉可以不用互相取暖嗎? 　課以嗎課以嗎.... By Tyler Kepner Had a chance to speak today with Scott Boras about the upcoming Alex Rodriguez negotiations. We heard many times from Alex this season that his choice is New York, he loves New York, and he wants to stay here forever. So I asked Boras if he will try to keep Rodriguez with the Yankees. 我今天有個嗆司，可以跟Scott Boras聊上兩句，談談關於未來阿肉的薪資協商，我們大家都聽過好幾次阿肉自己表示：他要紐約...他愛紐約.....他想要留在紐約... 所以，我問波拉斯是否會試著讓阿肉留在洋基。 “I think Alex is very happy in New York,” he said. “He was very comfortable and he’s been highly successful. He will have won two M.V.P. awards and he’s played at a high level, been to the playoffs every year. Obviously he’d like to win a world championship, but other than that, I would say it’s gone smoothly.” 他說：「當然，我知道阿肉在紐約過的金歡喜啦」，「很酥胡也一直很成功」，他將會贏得M.V.P，他每年一直保持著高水準一直到季後賽，他當然想贏得世界大賽，雖然沒有拿到，不過除此之外，一切都走的很順利阿。 Then Boras talked about the spike in the Yankees’ attendance since A-Rod joined the team, and the fact that A-Rod has the most runs batted in on the team over the last four years -– even if his 156 in 2007 were not included. The sides have not yet begun negotiating. The Yankees are holding organizational meetings next week, and Rodriguez is traveling to Southern California soon to consult with Boras. 波拉斯談到，從阿肉加入洋基以來的過去四年之中，事實證明他是貢獻最多打點的球員，甚至先不把他今年(2007年)的156分打點包含進去。兩邊(意指球團和經紀人)還未開始展開協商，洋基下星期將要開球團會議，而阿肉也會盡快前往南加州與波拉斯討論一番。 He has made his own decisions before, going against Boras’s advice to sign his first Seattle contract (four years, $10.6 million) and forego salary arbitration. But that was 11 years ago, and if Rodriguez is going to remain a Yankee, he will have to resist the temptation of free agency. 他(阿肉)以前自己做過決定，與波拉斯的建議背道而馳，簽下他與水手的合約，然後放棄薪資仲裁。但是這件事已經是11年前了，如果阿肉依舊想要待在洋基的話，他必須能夠抗拒成為FA的誘惑。 The Yankees say they really, truly will drop out of the negotiations if A-Rod opts out, because they would lose a $30 million subsidy from the Texas Rangers. In a way, both sides seem to think that one can’t live without the other. Boras thinks the Yankees need A-Rod for their business to thrive, on and off the field. The Yankees think A-Rod needs them to get the big dollars he seeks. If he opts out, they believe, he will be turning down a huge offer that he is unlikely to get elsewhere. 洋基很明確的表示，如果阿肉使用逃脫條款，他們也不會去追逐他(將退出協商)，因為他們將會損失掉條子付的$30 million，就某種程度而言，這兩邊人都在耍心機，似乎都認為對方沒有我不行。波拉斯認為，洋基需要阿肉來幫他們賺進大把大把的銀子，不管是場內還是場外，阿肉都能夠讓場子熱起來。而洋基則認為，阿肉所需要的這麼一大筆薪資，只有洋基這凱子才付的起。如果他逃脫的話，表示他拒絕了這麼一大筆交易，但他哪裡也去不了。 Of course, the Yankees have won no pennants since trading for A-Rod in 2004. I asked Boras about his client’s postseason performance, and he mentioned all kinds of players who had a lower career postseason average than Rodriguez ’s .279, including Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. “Willie Mays had one home run and 10 r.b.i. in 89 postseason at-bats,” Boras said. “Alex has seven home runs and 17 r.b.i. and a .280 batting average.” 當然，阿肉自從2004年到洋基以來，洋基是沒拿過任何冠軍，我問了波拉斯關於阿肉的季後賽表現，然後他就開始喇塞，開始把一些季後賽成績比阿肉的.279打擊率更低的一些人提出來。例如Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle 「Willie Mays在89個季後賽打數裡頭，只有一支全壘打跟10分打點」「我們家阿肉至少有七支全壘打，17分打點跟.280的打擊率咧....」 Those are all facts, though I wonder what Yankees fans think about them. In any case, should the Yankees pay $30 million-plus per year, for 10 years or more, to retain Rodriguez? And if they do, could Rodriguez actually turn that down? And if he does, do you think the Yankees will really drop out of the bidding if he opts out? 這些都是事實沒錯，不過我比較想知道洋基迷會怎麼看待，無論如何，洋基該付出每年$30M，長達十年，甚至更長的合約，去把阿肉留下嗎? 如果洋基這麼作，阿肉有拒絕的可能性嗎? 如果他真的使用逃脫條款，你認為洋基就真的會放棄競逐他嗎? http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/yankees/ --
