He got the $17 million but the Phillies still got his innings - and whatever they trade him for.
It will be disappointing if they are offered so little for him that Klentak somehow decides not to trade him, but it's hard for me to imagine that being the case.
Meanwhile, today's game story has this:
Miami does not have a stable ownership situation, and it is unclear whether its front office is even authorized to deal a “controllable” player until that is rectified.
A trade involving one of those players over the next two weeks, according to three major-league sources, is highly unlikely. Could it ever happen? Maybe.
