When Bob Nutting last addressed the media on June 21, the Pittsburgh Pirates owner provided fans with hope.

Nutting sounded like he was willing to expand the Pirates’ payroll – at least, within reason – so general manager Ben Cherington could bolster the team’s offense in hopes of making a run at the postseason this year

給了球迷希望

似乎願意在交易大限前補強，增加團隊薪資

I’m not at all sure that we won’t have opportunities well in advance of the deadline,” Nutting said, referring to MLB’s July 30 deadline to make trades. “I think we should be prepared to move early. I think we should be prepared to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. I know Ben has that flexibility to look across a broader range of alternatives, options but also a timeline of when it makes sense to strike.”

表示總管Ben Cherington有彈性能做出補強

The comment made many members of the Pirates’ front office “furious,” one member of the team’s baseball operations told Pittsburgh Baseball Now. They felt Nutting’s comments were “misleading, at best.”

但這言論讓海盜管理層不爽了

認為這在誤導球迷

“Bob implied we’re going to have money to spend, and he got the fans excited,” the person said under the condition of anonymity so he could speak freely without facing repercussions. “

一位匿名人士表示

老闆這訪談讓球迷興奮，覺得他們有錢補強了

But he told us we don’t have any money to make any significant additions.”

但老闆是跟他們講：我們沒錢做重大補強

The Pirates, though, have signed left fielder Bryan Reynolds (eight years, $106million), third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes (eight years, $70 million) and startingpitcher Mitch Keller (five years $77 million). There is speculation within the industry that the Pirates might be willing to offload Hayes’ contract.
