GM's aren't allowed to comment on trades that aren't finalized. So even if this deal was agreed to pending physicals they'd have to act like business as usual.
Back to Lars...
“It used to be a lot more,” he said, even referring to his “height of prospectism.” “I remember hearing something in the off-season a few years ago, and I got pretty, you know, … I like this organization a lot, and I wasn’t into that trade. I was like, ‘Man, I really hope that doesn’t happen.’ Now, that might be what needs to happen for me to really have a shot. You never want to close off options or close your mind. It’s important to be open to all things and kind of ride that wave when it comes. I’m kind of in a neutral position and accepting of whatever comes.”
I wonder if he was reffering to the Halladay sweepstakes that would have sent him to Toronto or the original talks we had surrounding Adrian Gonzalez that would have sent him to San Diego a couple years ago.
