When he speaks about the possiblity of a trade, he just says it would be the smart thing to do. Basically "If I were GM, I'd trade me for some good arms, since we have Escobar waiting in the wings." It doesn't sound like he is asking to be traded, but instead understands the possible reasoning of the GM who wants to make the postseason. Coley,

He just said the team might be better off trading him? Just to be clear, Renteria never suggested the Braves trade him to the Tigers, right? He just said the team might be better off trading him?

In some ways, I think they were trying to start something up. Coincidentally, they did! I think Rentería didn't realize us Colombian baseball bloggers (I wonder how many, really...) were going to pounce on this.

I wonder if Renteria would ever speak his opinion that plainly in the US, or if he is only being so straightforward with the Colombian media because he figures it will never make it back to the US...
