紅襪

Ohtani, people around him say, has long been intrigued by Boston. The fact thatNew Balance, which signed him to a massive endorsement deal, is based there might help. But the biggest factor for the Red Sox might be three last-place finishes over the past four years, and a distaste by their passionate fan base in the wake of Betts' departure. Signing Ohtani could repair a lot of that ill will. The question is: Will the Red Sox act like a true big-market team and actually spend this winter?

據說大谷一直對波士頓感興趣，New Balance可能會有幫助。但主因在於紅襪過去四年三度分區墊底以及放生Betts傷透球迷的心，簽下大谷也許能修復這一切。問題在於紅襪今年是否願意表現得像一支真正的大市場球隊大灑幣。

小熊

The Cubs, who already employ Japanese countryman Seiya Suzuki, are entering another contention window and could have more than $60 million come off the books with the departures of Cody Bellinger, Marcus Stroman and Jason Heyward. They're not afraid of exceeding the luxury tax, either. And they might have enough youngpitching on the way to let Ohtani take his time coming back on the mound.

小熊有日本同鄉、現正處於競爭季後賽的窗口、今年季後薪資空間空出超過6000萬鎂而且不怕付豪華稅。另外還有足夠的年輕投手讓大谷能夠好好復健以重返投手丘。

天使

The Angels famously have not won while employing Ohtani, and it's hard to imagine how they'll do so in the near future if Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon don't find a way to stay healthy and put together MVP-caliber seasons. But there's a comfort there for Ohtani, a familiarity with the organization that helped him carve out this two-way role in the first place. And they're expected to make every effort to bring him back.

眾所皆知天使在擁有大谷的這幾年不曾打出五成勝率的賽季，如果鱒魚跟Rendon無法保持健康並繳出MVP水準的賽季，也難以想像他們在不久的未來能夠贏球。但大谷在這裡待得很舒服，對這支將他打造成二刀流球星的球團上下都很熟悉。天使隊預計會盡全力將大谷帶回來。

道奇

The Dodgers have long been considered the favorites, for obvious reasons -- they reside in Southern Calornia, boast a rich history, have proven to be the industry's most adept at sustained winning and have only two long-term deals on their books in Freeman and Betts. Before October, Dodgers ownership, sources said, was highly motivated to land Ohtani. Another early playoff exit might only escalate that.

出於諸多原因一直被認為是大熱門：地處南加州、隊史淵遠流長、能穩定贏球、並且帳目上只有兩張大型合約。十月時就有消息稱道奇隊的老闆非常想要大谷，又一次的季後賽一輪遊只會加強他們的動機。

大都會

Nobody has deeper pockets than Steve Cohen, who shelled out more than $500 million last offseason bringing in new players and extending his current ones. When a disappointing summer prompted the Mets to deal Scherzer and Justin Verlander, among others, the thought was that they would reset until 2025. But make no mistake: Cohen is going to make a huge effort to secure Ohtani.

老闆非常有錢，上賽季就花了5億鎂。今年差勁的表現促使他們交易了薛蛇跟V中等人，大多數人覺得他們在2025年前會處於重整期，但作者覺得Cohen將付出巨大的努力網羅大谷翔平。

洋基

The Yankees owe Giancarlo Stanton $98 million over the next four years. He is essentially a DH at this moment. At some point soon, one would think, they'll have to keep DH open for Judge, too. Ohtani doesn't seem to make sense for the Yankees. But it's the Yankees. Regardless of whether they actually become heavily involved, they can't be discounted. Not for this type of player.

坦頓的合約還有4年98M而且應該會卡著DH，也有些人覺得洋基會想把DH空著給未來的法官。大谷看起似乎不太適合洋基的陣容，不過因為是洋基所以作者覺得不應該被低估，特別是對大谷這個等級的球星而言。

巨人

The Giants went all out trying to sign Judge and had a deal in place with Carlos Correa before getting scared off by his medicals. Their strong desire for a superstar player to build around remains -- especially now that manager Bob Melvin has been hired away from the division-rival San Diego Padres. They'll undoubtedly be among the top bidders for Ohtani this offseason

巨人去年就有參與法官跟Correa爭奪戰，今年仍然想補進一名超級球星來，特別是從教士那挖腳了Melvin以後，無庸置疑地會競標今年的大谷。

水手

Ohtani as a Mariner -- in a city with a heavy Japanese population and for a franchise that employed the legendary Ichiro Suzuki -- makes a lot of sense. The question is whether the M's can compete at these prices. Their last big free agentsigning, Robinson Cano, did not go well. Ohtani, of course, is different -- andhe'd fit in perfectly with their young nucleus.

考慮到西雅圖的日本人數以及鈴木一朗，水手出手是非常合理的事。問題在於水手是否願意去競價，他們的上一張大約Cano表現得並不理想。不過大谷是完全不同的情況，而且相當契合水手的年輕核心。

遊騎兵

The Rangers spent $500 million on a couple of middle infielders two offseasons ago, and yep, they could spend that much on one player this offseason. In fact, some consider the Rangers favorites to sign Ohtani -- and that was before all the added revenue that comes from securing their first World Series title in franchise history. Yes, their payroll is bloated. But four starting pitchers -- Max Scherzer, Jon Gray, Nathan Eovaldi and Andrew Heaney -- will be off the books within the next two years. And Ohtani and Jacob deGrom would be ready to step into the rotation in 2025.

兩年前在市場上花了500M組內野中線，今年可以再來一次。事實上一直有人認為遊騎兵是競爭大谷的大熱門，而且這還是在他們奪冠獲得隨之而來的額外收入之前的事。

沒錯，遊騎兵的薪資總額很高，但他們有四名投手的合約在未來兩年內到期，而大谷以及地瓜預計都能在2025年重返輪值。

藍鳥

The question with the Blue Jays seems to center on whether they can splurge on Ohtani and continually build a sustainable winner around him. But they'll have $50 million or so freed up in Matt Chapman, Brandon Belt, Kevin Kiermaier and Hyun Jin Ryu. And they have enough starting pitching to wait a year while Ohtani recovers.

藍鳥的問題在於他們能否在大谷身上砸下大錢並且圍繞著他打造出一支能穩定贏球的陣容。不過他們今年季後清出了50M的空間而且有著足夠的先發投手深度等待大谷復原。

大概是這樣

看了一下好像各家媒體的預測跟理由都差不多

不過這大概也就是檯面上那些有錢又對大谷有興趣的球隊了……吧？
