Jose Ramirez開2M跟隊友賭瑪利歐賽車
Freeman used to be Ramírez’s stiffest competition in Mario Kart.
過去三年待在守護者的Tyler Freeman(年初被交易去落磯）
是Jose Ramirez在瑪利歐賽車的強力競爭對手
They’d wager $100 per match, though Ramírez — who signed a $141 million exten sion in 2022 — occasionally challenges teammates for a bit more, even if they’re earning the six-figure league minimum, like Freeman is.
他們一場瑪利歐賽車會賭100美金
但已經簽下1.41億鎂延長合約的Ramirez偶爾會提出要賭更大筆的
即便Freeman還是領六位數的底薪仔
“He’s challenged me for $1 million,” Freeman said.
Freeman：他直接說要賭100萬鎂
And when Freeman declined, Ramírez upped the demand to $2 million.
而當Freeman拒絕後，Ramirez反而提更高的賭200萬鎂
Ramírez softened his stance and presented an idea befitting of his confidence i n his Mario Kart ability — or his ability in anything, really.
最後Ramirez甚至還提出了一個點子，符合他對自己瑪利歐賽車實力——或者說對任何事物實力——的自信
“If he puts (up) $100,” Ramírez said, “I’ll put (up) $1 million.”
Freeman只要賭100，他賭100萬
He regularly urges reporters to relay to team president Chris Antonetti that he should tack on some years and zeroes to his contract so he can chase down variou s franchise records.
他還經常拜託記者幫忙轉告球團總裁，應該在他的合約裡多加幾年和幾個零，好讓他能追逐各項隊史紀錄
He always has an offer of some sort ready for any stranger standing near his loc ker: a $100,000 price tag for his CyberTruck, a $10,000 reward if you sample his chewing tobacco, a free plate of ribs from the kitchen. It’s impossible not to wonder whether there’s a catch.
Ramirez也總是會對任何站在他置物櫃旁的陌生人拋出各種提議：像是開價10萬美元賣他的CyberTruck，或是要你嚐一口他的嚼菸就拿1萬美元，甚至還有廚房免費送上的一盤肋排，讓人不禁懷疑這其中是不是藏了什麼圈套。
Ramírez has told teammates he would designate them for assignment if he were ge neral manager. He has taken ground balls at others’ positions before games to t ease them about how easy their spot is to defend.
Ramirez也曾告訴隊友如果他是GM
那他會把你DFA
也會在賽前練習去其他防區接球
拿這來調侃他們的位置有多麼好守
It’s not as harsh as it may sound. Ramírez strikes a healthy balance between r oastmaster and motivator, and he chooses the perfect moment to deliver the criti que.
這其實沒有聽起來那麼嚴苛，Ramirez在搞笑調侃與激勵鼓舞之間拿捏得很巧妙，而且總能選在最恰當的時機給出指點
