イチローの長く在籍するチームが弱くなる理由3

Zakzakに出てたスポイラの原文。芸スポのスレではZakの誤訳なんていわれてたが
読めばちゃんと書かれてる。要点：

・His negatives are that he appears at times to be playing at
half speed and to have more interest in stylin' than anything of substance.
→実利（勝利貢献）よりスタイルにこだわり、手抜きプレーをする。

・Nor is he very good at setting the tone. Leading off Monday night's game
against the Mets at Shea Stadium, he jogged to first on a popup. He did the
same later in the game. The Mariners' two straight victories in New York
notwithstanding, Ichiro may dragging this team down, if that's even possible,
with his superstar-first attitude.
→スター気取りでチームの雰囲気を悪ている。前々日の試合でも先頭打者として凡退を繰り返した。

・But appearances suggest Ichiro could get away with murder. He already
has gotten away with a managerial beheading, according to two people familiar
with Mike Hargrove's sudden retirement last year. Hargrove's resignation was
already suspicious as it came with the Mariners on a seven-game winning streak
and only a game out in the wild card competition, and was followed a couple weeks
later by the announcement of Ichiro's $90-million extension. These two people
with Mariners ties now insist those two events were related.
→イチローはハーグローブ監督を始末するという「完全犯罪」をやってのけた。
昨年、チームが勝ち始めたタイミングで監督が辞め、その数週間後にイチローの契約延長が
発表された。チーム関係者２人も相関を指摘する。

・Hargrove was paid his contract in full despite what was described as a
resignation, which should tell you something about whether it was a normal
resignation. He said at the time that he "no longer has a passion for the
game of baseball,'' yet is now managing the Liberal BeeJays
→ハーグローブは自分から辞めたはずなのに契約期間の給料を全額受け取った。
（※通常は解雇なら全額払われ、辞任ならそれ以降の給料は払われない。）さらに
辞めた理由が「野球に対する情熱を失った」と言いつつ、現在セミプロチームの
監督をやっている。チーム側から辞めるように圧力があったのではないか。

Could Ichiro be on way out in Seattle?
