佐藤輝明ポスティング容認、海外ファン「守備難ならもうヤンキース」【海外の反応】

はぁ……うちのタイガース打線に大穴が空く……。いや、本人の幸運は祈ってるし、大金をつかんでこいとも思う。でも、ここ数年の森下と佐藤の一・二発は本当に良かった。生え抜きのスラッガーが全盛期に出ていくのを見るのは、ちょっとへこむ。（あ、行き先は絶対ヤンキースね）

Sigh... That leaves a huge hole in my Tigers lineup... I mean, all the best to him, and yeah, go get that bag for sure, but... it's been nice having the one-two punch of Morishita and Sato for the past few seasons, some nice homegrown sluggers, and just kind of depressing to see them shipping out in their prime. (Oh, Yankees for sure)

阪神ファンにはきつい1週間だった。それでも推しが夢を追うのは嬉しい。佐藤を獲ったチームは来季、相手にとって厄介な存在になるぞ。マリナーズの初のワールドシリーズ制覇に力を貸すところが見たいな。

This has been a brutal week for Hanshin fans. I’m excited my man is perusing his dream. Whatever team lands Sato is gonna be a problem next season. I’d love to see him help Seattle win their first World Series.

一番乗りだからパドレスで予約な。

First commenter here so calling dibs for the padres

ポスティングの仕組みが「Redditで最初にコメントしたやつが予約権を得る」よりマシならいいんだけどな。まあルールを決めるのは俺らじゃない。俺らは執行するだけだ。

I wish the posting process was smarter than first dibs on the first reddit post, but we don’t make the rules we just enforce them

2027年、ドジャースが佐藤と45年総額26億ドルで契約

2027 The LA dodgers have signed sato to 45 year 2.6 billion dollar contract

草。支払いは西暦3000年まで後払いな。

Lmao deferred till 3000

＊宇宙が熱的死を迎えるまで、な。

Till the heat death of the universe*

岡本も村上も今井も、ドジャース以外と契約したんだぞ。正直、ジョークのつもりでも面白くない。いつまで死んだ馬にムチ打ち続けるんだ？

Okamoto, Murakami, and Imai all signed with teams other than the Dodgers. And honestly, even if it’s supposed to be a joke, it’s not funny. How long are people gonna keep beating this dead horse?

佐藤がドジャースに来ることはないよ。NPBで三冠王を獲った選手が、併用要員になるチームを選ぶわけがない。それに佐藤は大谷より、ブルージェイズにいる岡本とのほうがずっと仲がいい。

Sato's never coming to the Dodgers. A guy who won the Triple Crown in NPB isn't going to want to join a team where he'd be part of a platoon. Besides, Sato's way closer with Okamoto over on the Blue Jays than he is with Ohtani.

佐藤もハーパーを野球のアイドルだと思ってるって報道があったぞ。

It was reported that Sato also sees Bryce as his baseball idol.

誰か今すぐハーパーを日本行きの飛行機に乗せろ！

Somebody get Bryce on a flight to Japan stat!

岡本と村上が今季見せたもののおかげで、佐藤は大金をつかむだろうな。

He's gonna get the bag due to what Okamoto and Murakami showed this season.

同時に大勢を不安にもさせたけどな。2人とも活躍はしたけど、村上は後半戦にリーグに攻略されたように見えたし、2人とも打率を残す力はMLBで崩れた。もちろんうちのヤンキースには狙ってほしい。でも三塁守備が悪くて、数字が岡本や村上の水準まで落ちるなら、長期契約は危ないかもしれない。

And have a tone of people super nervous. While both of them played well Murakami looked like the league figured him out in the second half and both their average hitting ability collapsed at the MLB level. Obviously still want my Yankees to target him but if his defense at 3B is bad and is numbers drop to the level of Okamoto and Murakami it might be a dangerous contract to sign long term.

岡本と村上の契約は予想よりずっと安かったし、2人とも年俸をはるかに上回る働きをしたと言っていい。佐藤は間違いなくその恩恵を受ける。

Okamoto and Murakami got way less than what people were expecting, and it's pretty safe to say both of them far exceeded the money they got. Sato will for sure benefit from that

言っておくと、佐藤はたぶん日本でいちばん守備の下手な三塁手だった。それでも構わない、とにかく欲しい。ただヤンキースには、ベンチのユーティリティ要員じゃなく、彼の後ろで三塁をちゃんと守れる控えも必要だ。

It’s worth noting that he was possibly the worst defensive third baseman in all of Japan. I still don’t care, I want him regardless, but the Yankees need someone who can play a good third base behind him and not just a utility guy on the bench.

不眠症のおかげでNPBを熱心に見てる俺の出番だな。佐藤のエラーの大半は送球エラーだ。捕球はかなりうまいし、去年はゴールデングラブも獲った。イップスってわけでもなく、あと0.1秒の落ち着きがあればいい。一塁や二塁へ散弾銃みたいに投げようとして、すっぽ抜けたりベンチの誰かを狙撃したりしがちなんだ。でも打撃は本物で、480フィート（約146メートル）の本塁打を打つし打球速度も速い。送球のフォームを少し直せば三塁で盤石になれる。一塁に置くのもアリだと思う。

Hey something I know about as avid watcher of NPB due to insomnia. Sato's majority of errors are throwing errors he fields the ball quite well and got a gold glove last year but he doesn't have the yips per se he just needs to add maybe a .1 second of calm to his game. He trys to shotgun the ball over to first or second and tends to airmail it or snipe someone in the dugout. However his bat is really good to the point of 480ft home runs and high exit velo. He just needs a mechanics tweak for the throwing and he could be rock steady at 3rd. Placing him at first could also be fine too.

落ち着きがなくて送球エラー？　ほんとにうちにぴったりじゃん……

Throwing errors due to a lack of calm? He really is the perfect fit…

去年164三振か。じゃあうちに完璧になじむな。

He struck out 164 times last season so he’ll fit in perfectly

まだ控えめな数字だな。こっちに来るまでに200超えまで仕上げてきてほしい。

Those are light numbers, by the time he comes over hopefully he gets that up over 200

一応言っておくけど、佐藤の予測は村上の劣化版だぞ。何をやっても村上より下。

Just so people are aware, he projects to be a worst version of Murakami. And worse at everything

うーん、俺の見立てとは違うな。俺には、長打は少し落ちるけど打撃そのものはやや上の選手に見える。今の村上より岡本に近いタイプで（しかも岡本より3歳若い）、2人のどちらよりも身体能力が高い。つまり育てがいのある素材ってこと。（白状すると、去年は岡本か村上を獲れってメッツに大声で言ってた側だ）

Hm. Not quite the read I get. I see a slightly better bat with less power, closer to Okamoto (though three years younger) than he is to present Murakami, and more athleticism than either. As in, better clay to shape. (Full disclosure: I rather loudly wanted the Mets to get either Okamoto or Murakami last year.)

MLBの投手相手だと、三振の数字はたぶん悪くなる。岡本も吉田も村上も誠也も、みんな三振率がはっきり悪化した。佐藤の場合はそこが特に心配で、日本時代のほかの選手と比べても、四球と三振の比率がすでにかなり弱い。そこから同じだけMLBで落ちたら、成功はかなり難しくなる。不可能じゃないけど、メッツにとっては大きな賭けだ。

It's likely his strikeout numbers will get worse against MLB pitchers. Okamoto, Yoshida, Murakami and Seiya all saw their strikeout rates get markedly worse. This is especially a concern when it comes to Sato because compared to what the others did in Japan, his BB/K ratio is already quite weak. For where he's starting from, similar degradation in those skills versus MLB pitching would make success very difficult to come by. Not impossible but it'd be a sizable risk for the Mets.

ここ数年NPBにハマってる身として言うと、ここ数週間これだけ否定的な分析が並んでも、佐藤はこっちで化け物になる気がしてならない。村上のときの批判とまったく同じ流れの繰り返しだよ。MLBでは村上や岡本より上をいくかもしれないと本気で思ってる。

As someone that has got into the NPB the last few years, I just get a feeling Sato is going to be a monster over here despite all the negative analysis the last weeks. Groundhog Day with the Murakami criticism I seriously think he might be better than Mune and Okamoto in the MLB

一塁ってのはメッツだけの発想じゃない。MLBのほとんどが佐藤を一塁手として見てるから、メッツの事情でたまたま出てきた突飛な案じゃないんだ。ジャイアンツからロン・ワシントンを引き抜いて、佐藤には一塁を覚えてもらえばいい。そんなに難しいことか？　なあ、ワッシュ？

the 1B thing is not really a Mets idea on this one. Most of MLB is considering Sato a first baseman, so it's not some crazy idea being inspired by a coincidentally pressing need for the Mets. We'll just hire Ron Washington away from the Giants and Sato can learn to play first. How hard can that be? Wash?

めちゃくちゃ難しいよ。

It's very hard.
