RatkoVarda Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I say this as a life-long Tiger fan: why would any player reject a trade to the LAD, a great organization that is currently in first place yet again, and going to the playoff for the 11th straight year? why?

Edman85 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 If it's a state tax deal, and I suspect it is, other contenders that may rule out include the Brewers, Twins, Yankees, Padres, Giants, and Blue Jays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a negotiating ploy. The right to block a trade is a neat point of leverage for the player to get something extra from the buying team, or maybe even the selling team. After, if he wanted to stay here, all he had to do is agree to go to the Dodgers for two months, play in the playoffs, maybe win a ring, and then sign an extension with us in the offseason after opting out. But nooooo ... One thing I know for sure: if he doesn't move in the next hour, it's going to be awful uncomfortable for everyone involved, him sticking around an organization that just tried to get rid of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you would think before working on a trade to someone on his list you’d find out if he was going to wave his NTC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Are we blindly trusting Harris knows what he's doing just like we trusted Avila to know what he was doing? It's going to be a long 4 or 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go to him before you have a deal you like? You already know what teams are on his no-trade. Edited August 1, 2023 by KL2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals have been resurrected from the dead before too, hence why it can be a useful negotiating ploy. Especially for a team like the Dodgers, who are pretty desperate for pitching Not saying that happens here, obviously...

I think the Tigers treated him well last Summer when he split on the team; maybe he sees it differently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know that he waited till it was all complete reviewed meds then went to E-Rod. Also what do you expected Harris to do beforehand? He knows E-Rod has him on the no trade. He might have given him a heads up, but when they finally reached a deal went to E-Rod to see and he said no.

I believe what Passan is saying is that they worked out a deal, but couldn't satisfy ERod, which is why the deal is now "dead". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 14 minutes ago, chasfh said: I don't like that outcome. I'm hoping he's trying to get someone to extend him in the trade and/or he'd rather play closer to home in Baltimore. Or who knows, maybe he needs LA needs to extend him to get him. I usually assume it's all about the money, but given the personal problems he had last year, being close to home certainly could be an important consideration for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
