PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Harper publicly challenged team president Dave
Dombrowski to upgrade the roster if the Philadelphia Phillies were serious about contending for a World Series title.
費城── Bryce Harper 公開向球隊總裁 Dave Dombrowski 發起挑戰,表示如果費城費城人隊對於爭奪世界大賽冠軍是認真的,就必須對陣容進行升級。
A night before the trade deadline, Harper went from calling out Dombrowski to texting him, noting he would move from first base back to right field if it helped upgrade the lineup.
在交易大限的前一晚,Harper 從隔空喊話改為直接發簡訊給 Dombrowski,指出如果能有助於升級打線,他願意從一壘移防回右外野。
Harper is indeed now the Phillies' right fielder -- just for the remainder of this season -- after Dombrowski swung a deal Monday for three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants.
在 Dombrowski 於週一發動交易、從舊金山巨人隊換來三屆打擊王 Luis Arraez 之後,Harper 現在確實成為了費城人隊的右外野手──不過僅限於本賽季剩餘的時間。
"I think any chance that we have an opportunity to win, I'd do anything for this organization," Harper said before Monday's 6-3 victory over the
Washington Nationals. "They know that."
「只要我們有贏球的機會,我願意為這個球團做任何事,」Harper 在週一球隊以 6 比3 擊敗華盛頓國民隊的比賽前表示。「他們很清楚這一點。」
Hours later, Harper hit a two-run homer in the Phillies' series-opening win.
幾小時後,Harper 在費城人隊系列賽首戰獲勝的比賽中擊出了一支兩分打點全壘打。
Arraez is the proven bat Philadelphia's lineup needed in its chase for a fifth straight trip to the playoffs and first World Series championship since 2008.
在費城人隊追求連續五年挺進季後賽、以及爭奪自 2008 年以來首座世界大賽冠軍的過程中,Arraez 正是費城打線所需要的實戰驗證強打。
Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Arraez will play second base, triggering a defensive shuffle that switched up the corner positions.
費城人隊代理總教練(interim manager)Don Mattingly 表示,Arraez 將擔任二壘手,這觸發了一連串的防守大輪換,進而改變了角落野手的位置。
Bryson Stott will move from second base to third, and third baseman Alec Bohm will shift to first, where Harper has played since returning from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2023.
Bryson Stott 將從二壘移防至三壘,而三壘手 Alec Bohm 則轉任一壘──自從 2023 年右肘接受韌帶重建手術(Tommy John surgery)復出以來,Harper 就一直鎮守一壘。
The 33-year-old Harper long-tossed in the outfield before Monday's game and conceded there would be an adjustment in the position shift.
現年 33 歲的 Harper 週一賽前在外野進行了遠投練習,並坦言位置轉換需要經過一段調整。
"I think it's probably just more of the arm-care stuff," Harper said. "Maybe a little of the bit of the legs, as well. At 33 right now, this is the best I've felt in a long time. I feel healthy, I feel strong. Obviously, may need to get my arm going a little bit more. You don't show too much arm strength at first base."
「我覺得可能更多是關於手臂保養的工作,」Harper 說。「也許腿部也需要一點調整。現在 33 歲的我,感覺是好長一段時間以來最好的。我覺得自己很健康、很強壯。顯然,我的手臂可能需要再多適應一下。畢竟在一壘你不太需要展現太多的臂力。」
Mattingly said there was never a consideration to move shaky shortstop Trea Turner, who has 18 errors this season, to the outfield.
Mattingly 表示,他們從未考慮過將本季已出現 18 次失誤、防守不夠穩定的游擊手Trea Turner 移防至外野。
Mattingly, 50-34 with the Phillies since he replaced Rob Thomson in April, also wanted assurances from Harper that he was on board with leaving first base.
自四月接替 Rob Thomson 執教以來帶領費城人隊打出 50 勝 34 敗戰績的 Mattingly,也希望從 Harper 那裡獲得確認,保證他完全同意離開一壘。
"He just came up to me and said, 'Hey, are you serious?' I said, 'Yeah,'"Harper said.
「他走到我面前問:『嘿,你是認真的嗎?』我說:『是的,』」Harper 說。
Harper, a former catcher who spent the bulk of his career in Washington and Philadelphia as an outfielder, brought his outfielder's glove with him on last week's trip to Miami, just in case it was needed. The Phillies lost eight of nine games after the All-Star break before winning two straight over the weekend in Baltimore.
曾經擔任捕手、職業生涯絕大部分時間在華盛頓和費城擔任外野手的 Harper,在上週前往邁阿密的客場之旅中就帶上了外野手套,以備不時之需。費城人隊在明星賽過後九場比賽中輸掉了八場,隨後才在週末於巴爾的摩拿下二連勝。
In Miami, Harper was blunt about the Phillies' chances, saying "I think we need some help."
在邁阿密時,Harper 坦率地談到了費城人隊的形勢,直言:「我覺得我們需要一些外援補強。」
All he had to do was change positions for the Phillies to add reinforcements.
而為了讓費城人隊能夠引進強援,他所需要做的就是轉換守備位置。
"I don't have to do that," Harper said. "Hopefully, it helps. I think it's helped us obviously get the guy that we need."
「我並不是非做不可,」Harper 說。「希望這能有所幫助。顯然,我覺得這幫助我們拿到了我們需要的人選。」
The gesture was appreciated by Dombrowski, who added that the Phillies were aware long before the deadline of Harper's openness to move back to the
outfield.
這項舉動得到了 Dombrowski 的賞識,他補充表示,早在交易大限之前很久,費城人隊就已經知道 Harper 對於重返外野持開放態度。
"Let's seriously consider it because it really hasn't been a necessity in this situation," Dombrowski said. "His volunteering opened the door for us to go ahead and get an infielder."
「讓我們認真考慮這件事,因為在這種情況下這原本並不是剛性需求,」Dombrowski 表示。「他的主動請纓為我們開了一扇門,讓我們能夠進一步去引進一名內野手。」
Arraez gives the Phillies a needed contact hitter
為費城人隊帶來了一位急需的安打型打擊者。
**contact hitter/ power hitter
Arraez is batting a National League-best .324 with four homers and 47 RBIs with an 0.801 OPS. He's a four-time All-Star and, of importance in the
free-swinging Phillies lineup, he is a contact hitter who rarely strikes out.
Arraez 目前以 .324 的打擊率高居國聯之冠,並附帶 4 支全壘打、47 分打點以及 0.801的整體攻擊能力(OPS)。他是四屆明星賽球員,而且對於揮棒較為積極激進的費城人隊打線而言非常重要的是,他是一位極少吞下三振的安打型打者。
He has struck out just 236 times over his eight-year career.
在他的八年職業生涯中,他僅僅被三振了 236 次。
Arraez has 25 walks to 21 strikeouts this season. The Phillies' .304 on-base percentage is second worst in the majors, only ahead of the New York Mets.
Arraez 本季選到 25 次保送,同時僅吞下 21 次三振。費城人隊目前 .304 的上壘率在大聯盟排名倒數第二,僅優於紐約大都會隊。
Arraez is eligible for free agency at the end of the season and has played for five teams in the past five seasons. He played in the All-Star Game last month in Philadelphia.
Arraez 在本賽季結束後有資格成為自由球員,且在過去五個賽季中曾效力過五支不同的球隊。他上個月才剛在費城參加了明星賽。
The Phillies also acquired right-hander reliever Caleb Kilian in the trade in exchange for minor league right-handed pitchers Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair.
費城人隊還在這筆交易中獲得了右投後援投手 Caleb Kilian,代價是送出小聯盟右投手Ramon Marquez 和 Marty Gair。
The Phillies struck a separate deal for Mets left-hander Brooks Raley in exchange for minor league right-handed pitcher Luke Gabrysh and minor league outfielder John Spikerman. They also sent righty reliever Nolan Hoffman to Kansas City for minor league righty Manuel Colón, a move that opened a spot on the 40-man roster. They also traded righty reliever Seth Johnson to the Athletics for a minor leaguer.
費城人隊另外發動了一筆單獨的交易,從大都會隊手中換來左投手 Brooks Raley,送出小聯盟右投手 Luke Gabrysh 以及小聯盟外野手 John Spikerman。他們還將右投後援投手 Nolan Hoffman 送往堪薩斯市,換來小聯盟右投手 Manuel Colón,此舉為 40 人名單騰出了一個席位。此外,他們還將右投後援投手 Seth Johnson 交易至運動家隊,換取了一名小聯盟球員。
Raley has a 5-5 record with a 1.96 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 45 games. His 1.96 ERA is tied for the fourth-lowest mark in the majors among left-handed relievers, and 35 appearances this season have been scoreless.
Raley 在 45 場出賽中繳出 5 勝 5 敗、防禦率 1.96 以及 40 次三振的成績。他的 1.96 防禦率在大聯盟所有左投後援投手中並列第四低,且本季有 35 場登板沒有失分。
Philly has a big gap to catch the Braves in the NL East
費城人在國聯東區追趕勇士面臨巨大差距。
The Phillies, with Monday's win, are 60-53 and hold one of the final NL
wild-card spots.
憑藉週一的勝利,費城人隊戰績來到 60 勝 53 敗,暫時占據國聯外卡席位的其中一席。**目前勇士67-45,兩隊勝差7.5。
**國聯外卡一至三分別為:小熊 (64-49)、響尾蛇 (60-53)、費城人 (60-53)。
後面教士 (58-55)、馬林魚 (58-55)緊追在後。
Arraez led the National League in hits the past two seasons and had signed a$12 million, one-year contract this season with the Giants. He spent his first five major league seasons with the Minnesota Twins before they traded him to the Miami Marlins in January 2023. San Diego acquired him in May 2024.
Arraez 在過去兩個賽季均領跑國聯安打榜,本賽季他與巨人隊簽下了一份價值 1200 萬美元的一年合約。他在明尼蘇達雙城隊度過了前五個大聯盟賽季,之後於 2023 年 1 月被交易至邁阿密馬林魚隊。聖地牙哥則在 2024 年 5 月交易獲得了他。
Stott, who blossomed into a Gold Glove candidate, echoed Harper's comments and said he was fine with heading to third base.
已經蛻變為金手套獎熱門候選人的 Stott 回應了 Harper 的言論,並表示自己對於移防至三壘完全沒有問題。
"It should be not lost that our superstar first baseman, two-time MVP is willing to move," Stott said. "When you're on a team and you see a guy like that, what we are going to say, no, we're not moving?"
「我們不該忽視的是,我們隊上的超級巨星一壘手、兩屆 MVP 都願意做出移動,」Stott 說。「當你在一家球隊裡看到這樣的球員做出表率時,我們還能說什麼?難道說『不,我不搬』嗎?」
Dombrowski came out swinging with deals that, while not at the level of the Dodgers trading for Tarik Skubal, showed that the Phillies are serious about staying in the playoff hunt and making a World Series push in October.
Dombrowski 透過一連串主動出擊的交易展現了企圖心,儘管這些操作可能達不到道奇隊交易來 Tarik Skubal 那種震驚業界的級別,但這充分表明了費城人隊對於維持季後賽競爭力、並在十月向世界大賽發起衝刺是絕對認真的。
