Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris blamed himself
for putting the team in a position to trade generational ace Tarik Skubal but
lauded the prospects he received from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange.
底特律老虎隊棒球營運總裁（president of baseball operations）Scott Harris 自責
讓球隊陷入不得不交易世代級王牌 Tarik Skubal 的境地，但他同時也大力讚揚了從洛杉
磯道奇隊換回的新秀籌碼。
Harris also took exception to the notion that he should've waited until
closer to the trade deadline to maximize Skubal's return.
Harris 也對「應該等到更接近交易大限時才出手，以將 Skubal 的交易回報最大化」這
種觀點表達了異議。
"We came into this very well prepared," Harris said in a videoconference
shortly after Monday's deadline. "We came into this with a firm idea of the
type of deal that we wanted to ultimately land. And we had a deep
understanding of what every organization had to offer.
「我們在進入這次談判時做足了準備，」Harris 在週一交易大限結束後不久的視訊會議
中表示。「我們懷著非常明確的想法，清楚我們最終想要達成怎樣的交易。我們也對每個
球團所能提供的籌碼有著深入的了解。」
"I think there is a unique dynamic with a player like Tarik Skubal. Markets
at the deadline for the top players are just different than the rest of the
market. So, I understand the intuition that, 'Hey, you're supposed to wait
until the very last second on a deal and then pull a trigger at the very last
second to maximize a return.' That's not how markets for the top players
work."
「我認為像 Tarik Skubal 這樣的球員有著獨特的市場動態。交易大限前頂級球員的市場
機制，與其他普通市場是完全不同的。所以，我理解那種直覺式的想法，覺得『嘿，你應
該等到最後一秒才做決定，在最後一刻扣下扳機才能拿到最大回報』。但頂級球員的市場
根本不是這樣運作的。」
Harris praised outfield prospect Zyhir Hope for his combination of power and
speed, his knack for putting together big league at-bats and his overall
bat-to-ball skills. Harris identified River Ryan as a potential
front-of-the-rotation starter, adding that he expects Ryan to join the major
league roster in September. And he described Brady Smith as a projectable
starter with an elite changeup.
Harris 稱讚了外野新秀 Zyhir Hope 的力量與速度結合能力、展現大聯盟等級打席的訣
竅，以及整體優異的擊球技巧（bat-to-ball skills）。Harris 將 River Ryan 視為潛
在的前段先發投手（front-of-the-rotation starter），並補充預計 Ryan 將會在九月
進入大聯盟名單。他同時將 Brady Smith 描述為一位未來發展可期的先發投手，並擁有
一顆頂級的變速球。
But the Dodgers have as many as four outfield prospects graded higher in
their system than Hope, and the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers, who
were both deep in conversations for Skubal, possess some of the industry's
deepest minor league systems. It prompted executives and scouts throughout
the industry to wonder why Skubal, the reigning back-to-back American League
Cy Young Award winner, didn't yield a bigger package

一直在想輪子是跟誰換，原來是巨人拿他去換Beltran。PCA就不用講，小熊賺爆
