Re: [情報] 大聯盟官網：休賽季前十大FA

看了一下原文，翻覺得比較有趣的幾個人

山本由伸

Yamamoto only ranks this low because his availability is not yet official. Still, he is expected to be posted by the Orix Buffaloes this offseason, adding another intriguing arm to the free-agent market. The 25-year-old has won both Pacific League MVP honors and the Sawamura Award (Japan’s version of the Cy Young) ineach of the past two years, and scouts believe he can immediately jump into theNo. 1 or 2 spot in a big league rotation the way Masahiro Tanaka did with the Yankees nearly a decade ago. If/when he is posted, Yamamoto will likely jump intothe Top 5 -- possibly the Top 3 -- of these rankings. He isn't the only Japanese player to watch this offseason, either.

山本還沒正式確定上架才排這麼低，預期歐牛仍會在季後同意他入札，為自由球員市場增添一名強投。

今年25歲而且過去兩年都是洋聯MVP加澤村賞得主，球探們相信他能夠像當年的田中將大一樣立
刻扛起前兩號輪值。確定入札以後可能會排到這個名單的前五甚至前三。

Lucas Giolito

Giolito was one of the top targets at the Trade Deadline, and while he's had a rough time since the White Sox dealt him -- he’s 2-8 with a 6.38 ERA for the Angels and Guardians -- the right-hander still figures to draw plenty of interest in free agency. Nobody will confuse Giolito with a bona fide ace, but the 29-year-old has been a proven innings-eater capable of filling a club’s No. 2 or 3 spot in the rotation, and he will likely be paid accordingly.

今年季中交易市場的大物之一，即使被交易以後丟得很差但仍然會在自由球員市場上得到不少興趣。沒人會把Giolito當成王牌但他已經證明過自己能吃局數，也能扛輪值的2-3號，應該能得到相應的身價。

Blake Snell

On May 19, Snell was 1-6 with a 5.40 ERA after nine starts, leading many to project that the 30-year-old was costing himself a ton of money in free agency. Since then, all he’s been is the best pitcher in baseball, going 13-3 with a 1.26 ERA over his past 22 starts. Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, is in line to add a second Cy Young to his résumé this season, which would make the left-hander only the seventh pitcher to earn that honor in both leagues. He’s primed to cash in as the best starting pitcher (Non-Ohtani Division) on this year’sfree-agent market.

開季前九場投很糟，當時被預期身價會掉不少。但之後成為棒球界最好的投手，現在即將拿下涯第二座賽揚獎，成為史上第七位在兩聯盟都拿過賽揚的投手。少了大谷之後成為今年的市場上最頂的先發投手。

大谷翔平

Even with a torn UCL that required elbow surgery, Ohtani is easily the top freeagent on this year’s market. Even though Ohtani isn't expected to return to the mound until 2025, his offensive profile alone -- which compares favorably to Aaron Judge, who signed for nine years and $360 million last year when he was a year older than Ohtani will be -- should land him a deal in the 10-year, $400 million range. The contract is likely to top $500 million, though the guaranteed dollars are sure to take a hit from what they would have been without the injury.

即使是韌帶撕裂傷需要動手肘手術，大谷仍輕易成為這個名單上的第一人。儘管預計要到2025才能回到投手丘上，但就算只看他的打擊也足以與Aaron Judge相比，而Judge在大一歲的情況下拿到9年360M，大谷應該能拿到10年400M。而且合約還是有機會會達到500M的水平，只是保障薪的部分相較於受傷之前肯定會受到影響。

大概是這樣
