Re: [ChopChat] Trades


Bobby,

Klesko was dealt because he was (wrongly) perceived as a one-dimensional player
(couldn't hit lefties) and his salary was ready to explode. Boone was not liked
on the team and, besides, he's playing so far over his head that even he's in
shock.

Michael

Ryan still can't hit lefties. He improved to .256 against them last year, but this year he has slumped back to .229 against them, despite hitting 10 points...

There is no "real" reason for a trade - everyone has their opinion. The closest you get is a John Schuertholz quote, but even that is crafted for public...
