Re: E-Rod Non-Trade Discussion
Reply #3 –
The blame lies primarily on three people: Harris, the agent, and the headcase, Rodriguez. Rodriguez' agent has said he was in contact with his client throughout the trade process, yet no concerns were ever raised. Personally, knowing LA was on the no-trade list, I would have been asking the question repeatedly and if there were any hesitation I would have let it be known to all concerned. Of course we all know that agents are not the most reputable individuals (yes, Bore-a$$, I'm looking at you...).
In the end though, this falls squarely in the lap of the player. Pulling the plug at the last possible minute is just bush league.
