‘We’re dead’: The ominous ALCS meeting that foretold Astros cheating doom
"我們死定了": 2018年ALCS前的會議預告了太空人作弊的命運

Joe Torre reportedly warned the Astros and Red Sox what was going to happen
if they were in fact cheating.
據報導，Joe Torre曾經警告過太空人以及紅襪若是他們真的有作弊的話，結果會是如
何。

By then, it was already too late.
不過在那時候，一切都來不及了。

Torre met with the Astros and Red Sox before they faced off in the 2018 ALCS
and warned them that any secret cheating — like illegal sign stealing —
they may have been doing would not remain a secret forever, according to ESPN’s Karl Ravech. The meeting included the general managers and managers from
both teams — Jeff Luhnow, Dave Dombrowski, AJ Hinch and Alex Cora — and was
led by Torre, MLB’s chief baseball officer at the time.
根據ESPN記者Karl Ravech的報導，在2018 ALCS開始前，Torre跟太空人以及紅襪開會過，並且警告他們任何偷偷來的作弊--像是非法偷暗號--這些行為不會一直都不被爆出來的。那場會議參與的包括兩邊的總管以及總教練--Jeff Luhnow，Dave Dombrowski，AJ Hinch跟Alex Cora--以及主持這場會議，當時擔任聯盟棒球長的Joe Torre。

“Torre basically said to the teams, both of them and those people and anyone
else that was in the room, look, if you’re inclined or have gotten away with
or are doing anything that would violate the rules that you are all aware of
or should be aware of, you’re gonna have to understand at some point, there’
s going to be a player, or players or a front office person that’s going to
leave your team, go to another team and basically rat you guys out. Basicallytell the dirty secrets,” Ravech said on ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” podcast.
「Torre基本上跟這兩隊以及那間會議室裡的其他人說，聽著，若是有人想要做，或者已經做過但是沒被抓到，或是正在做有違反規則的行為，而且也知道是違反規則或者是應該要知道是違反規則的，一定會有個球員，或是幾個球員，或是制服組裡的人，他們可能要離開你們去別的球隊，他們就會把你們供出來，把這些骯髒事都抖出來，」Ravech在ESPN的podcast節目上說到。

“Whether Joe Torre was aware at that point of what was coming from Mike
Fiers, and there’s no evidence to believe that, but I was told that message
and that meeting scared the heck out of those guys in that room to the point
that they acknowledged ‘we’re in trouble, we’re dead, so we cannot
continue to particular behavior.’ In the case of the person or persons that
told me that, the behavior changed.”
「不管Joe Torre是不是已經知道Mike Fiers的事情，目前的證據也不支持，但是我有聽到那場會議以及會議裡講的訊息真的嚇到那些人，嚇到他們真的了解到"我們有麻煩了，我們死定了，我們不能再繼續做那些奇怪的事了"。跟我講的人他說，他們行為有改變了。」

Of course, it was Fiers — a pitcher on the 2017 Astros now with the
Athletics — who finally went public in November and told The Athletic about
the club’s illegal sign-stealing program. That led to MLB investigating the
claims in full and outing the Astros as cheaters during the 2017 season and
part of 2018.
當然，是因為Fiers--2017年太空人的投手現在是在運動家--在11月的時候出來爆料，跟球隊講有關非法偷暗號的事情，這才讓聯盟出來調查發現太空人在2017年以及2018年部分球季有作弊。

The Red Sox, who went on to win the ALCS and World Series after Torre’s
meeting, are still under investigation for allegedly using electronics to
steal signs in 2018. The final MLB report on the findings has been pushed
back after commissioner Rob Manfred originally said he hoped to have it done
by the start of spring training.
在跟Torre會面後，紅襪那年是拿下ALCS以及世界大賽冠軍，現在則是因為2018年被控使用電子儀器偷暗號在調查中。原本主席Rob Manfred是說希望在春訓前可以有完整報告，不過目前是暫時推遲的。

The fallout of the Red Sox investigation is not believed to be as harsh as itwas for the Astros, according to multiple reports. But the longer it is drawnout, the more questions surround it.
根據一些報導，紅襪調查報告的結果不認為會跟太空人一樣慘。但是拖的越久，會引發更多的疑問。

“The length of time this is taking is uncomfortable, let’s put it that way,
” Ravech said.
「我們可以這樣說， 調查這件事所花的時間讓人很不舒服，」Ravech說。

MLB suspended Luhnow and Hinch for a year — before the Astros promptly fired
them both — fined the club $5 million and docked them draft picks. Cora, who
was Hinch’s bench coach in 2017, parted ways with the Red Sox for his role
in the scandal.
聯盟給了Luhnow跟Hinch一年水桶--之後太空人就把這兩人給開除了--球團被罰了500萬鎂以及選秀簽。Cora是2017年太空人的板凳教練，也因為他在這醜聞裡的角色跟紅襪分道揚鑣。
