Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can't come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That's part of the game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been hearing this since I first joined the Reds organization, that I'm going to be the next this or that. It's tough on a young player coming up. You show some positive things and everybody jumps on that and says you should be the next Willie Mays.
After the first time I got traded - I was in the bullpen warming up for a game in Double A, and I got called back in and got traded - that was probably the, like, most crazy it could be. And once I got traded, the next time it got a little easier, and I got traded the next time - it's just part of it.
The Red Sox believe what's written. If it's written that I should be traded, more times than not, that's what ends up happening. Look at the people who've gotten traded around here. It's not their doing.
In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.
One thing I know in baseball is you should never be comfortable where you are. It doesn't matter who you are. It's a business. If I got traded tomorrow, no hard feelings; it's a business.
I don't know why you would trade a stud pitcher.
Nobody really tells me what's going on, and I find out via the trades myself.
I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'
I don't have a no-trade clause. I figure someone is going to pick me up.
I don't care. I feel like if we don't make a trade, we have to get it done with what we've got.
