What's not true? The statement I made was that Verlander has a no-trade clause in his contract so he has the final say on if/where he gets traded. And that is absolutely true.

You said "Verlander has to approve any location he is traded to because he has a no trade clause. So if wouldn't sign somewhere, then he wouldn't  be traded there either."

The second part is not true.  You don't know that he wouldn't sign here, just that he didn't sign here.  And if he didn't even want to sign here, things may have changed by now.

Seeing on twitter Lorenzen has left the clubhouse. My hunch is the Reds

Serious question, at this point what are the chances that Elias adds no one else?

We’ll see… at some point we’ll have to cope with “I’m ok with Zimmerman and Irvin spot starting until Wells is back.”

I never said he wouldn't sign here. Where did you get that out of my post? All I said is that he had a no trade cause and his opinion mattered. Your beef is with the other person who said that. Not me.

I really think it's 50/50

I was against Lorenzen and still kind of am but they do need innings and I have to think he won’t cost much. Trading a lot more for one of these other guys only to have very little difference in Production isn’t really worth it.

I would like to stabilize the rotation tonight with Lorenzen. Then let’s go big game hunting for someone who moves the needle tomorrow… Bednar

I’m ok with him for that reason. I’d really like Foley too though so I’d give up a little more to get both.

How about EdRod? If the Tigers are a match trade wise, I’d prefer to see us go after him.

Is Lorenzen a FA after the season?

I watched him against the Phillies yesterday. Yes, I want that guy in the back end of the pen for us. He was nasty.

Outside of Giolito, Montgomery and ERod, I’m not sure I would’ve placed any realistic options ahead of Lorenzen. I don’t view Snell, Keller or the mariners/marlins arms as realistic fwiw, probably not worth the prospect cost.
