Huh? WHAT?!
Dan Shaughnessy is just farting. He knows that Wake will never play for any other MLB team. He KNOWS this. Zach Links of MLB Trade Rumors picked up Shaughnessy’s fluff and ran with it, (not knowing who CHB is, I’m sure.) Luke Adams, also of MLB Trade Rumors, comments on the Wakefield trade rumors and its origin. Red Sox officials including Theo Epstein denied the report of Tim Wakefield being on the trading block, as well as Dice-K, Mike Cameron, Darnell McDonald and Marco Scutaro being on the trading block.
Could somebody please make Shaughnessy go away? This is his brief interview with Wake (not brief enough):
Q: Is it guaranteed that you are on the team? Has it ever occurred to you that you might not be on the team this year?
A: It hasn’t occurred to me.
Q: Well, you looked really good today, but your value is as a starter.
A: Right. In my opinion, that’s what my value is.
Q: So if you’re not going to start . . .
A: What are you getting at? If I’m not a starter, I don’t make the team?
Q: Not my call. I’m just wondering what else they would do. I like you as a starter.
A: Well, I like me as a starter, too, but right now it can’t happen.
