[外電] 乳摸: 勇士有在考慮Keuchel

Atlanta's rotation faces some uncertainty, given that Mike Foltynewicz will be unavailable to start the season due to an elbow injury." 「有消息來源說勇士一直有在觀察FA市場裡面，Keuchel以及其他一些先發投手，但是對於 為了要簽下Keuchel得要放棄選秀，球隊仍是保持謹慎的態度。勇士隊目前輪值狀況還不明 確，像是Mike Foltynewicz就因為手肘傷勢開季時無法上場。」 Keuchel won the American League Cy Young Award following a dominant 2015 season. Since then, Keuchel has been up and down—posting a 4.55 ERA in 2016, 2.90 in 2017 and 3.74 last season. Keuchel turned 31 in January. Keuchel在2015年表現傑出，拿下當年的美聯賽揚。而在那之後，Keuchel的表現就起起伏 伏，2016年ERA是4.55，2017年是2.90，去年則是3.74，他在今年一月滿31歲。 Boras said, per Morosi, "a couple teams have sent representatives to watch Keuchel pitch in California and speak with the southpaw in person." Morosi noted that Boras disclosed Keuchel is receiving offers but wouldn't specify further. Boras說，「有一些隊伍有派代表來加州看Keuchel投球，也跟他講了些話。」Morosi也提 到，Boras說Keuchel有收到報價，但沒說是哪些隊伍。 Jon Tayler of Sports Illustrated outlined why Keuchel should be concerned about his delayed free agency: Sports Illustrated記者Jon Taylor則寫到為何Keuchel應該要為他延遲許久的FA感到擔 心： "You can argue that, in today's MLB, a long-term deal for a 31-year-old who doesn't throw hard or strike batters out is a poor investment. But while it's unlikely that Keuchel is going to age particularly well, he remains a boost for most pitching staffs this year and probably 2020 as well. 「你當然可以說，現今的MLB生態，給一個31歲的不是丟強力火球或是可以三振對手的投手 長約是一樁爛買賣。但是，雖然Keuchel可能不會緩慢的衰退，但是他仍舊可以對於球隊投 手群帶來助力，可能可以到2020都還行。」 "The problem is that with so much of the league simply not trying, good teams have little incentive to pay for upgrades that lead to the marginal wins normally necessary to secure playoff spots. ... It's not as if Keuchel can start his own league. Either he buckles and takes short-term offers, or he holds out indefinitely." 「現在的問題是，聯盟裡很多隊就是不想試試看，好的隊伍不想去補強，多增加的一些勝 場通常是可以確保季後賽席位的...又不是Keuchel自己可以辦一個聯盟。要嘛他就是放 棄，拿個短約，不然就是這樣繼續耗下去。」 Keuchel does have one source for optimism within Boras' client list, as pitcher Kyle Lohse held out until the March 25, 2013, before the Milwaukee Brewers signed him to a three-year, $33 million contract. Lohse was 34 years old. Boras likened Keuchel to Lohse while speaking to Morosi. 身為Boras的客戶，Keuchel是有理由可以保持樂觀的，因為之前投手Kyle Lohse也是在 2013年撐到3/25，直到釀酒人給了他三年3300萬鎂的合約，那時Lohse是34歲。當Boras跟 Morosi談的時候，就說Keuchel跟Lohse很像。 The problem, though, is Keuchel is reportedly seeking a five-year pact—or at least he was in December when the Philadelphia Phillies were still pursuing him. 但是，問題是，在去年12月時當費城人還在追逐Keuchel的時候，有報導說Keuchel想要一 份至少五年的長約。 Per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Keuchel turned down a five-year, $90 million extension offer from the Astros following his Cy Young season. Houston also extended Keuchel a $17.9 million qualifying offer following last season in November, but he declined it. 根據The Athletic記者Ken Rosenthal的報導，當Keuchel拿下賽揚後，太色有提供一份五 年9000萬鎂的延長合約，但是他拒絕了。去年11月太色也提供Keuchel一份1790萬鎂的合格 報價給他，他也拒絕了。 As March drones on, something has to give. 隨著三月的到來，總是有人得要讓步的。 -- 到底誰會撐不下去呢？ -- #1RelwrS2 (MLB) 標題 [閒聊] 躲人Puig家裡過去一年半被闖空門四次 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.222.1.181 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1552639232.A.590.html
