THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL PHIL NEVIN WILL EVER AGREE TO BE TRADED TO THE ORIOLES!
he turned down a trade to Cincy a few years ago for Griffey and there is NO WAY he wants to leave the Padres for Baltimore
he will FINALLY get a chance to participate in a playoff game if he stays with SD and he is NOT going to give that up
he doesn't want to uproot his family from SD. his parents live in Placentia - near Cal State Fullerton - and he is from the So Cal area
NO WAY IN HELL HE APPROVES THIS TRADE - NO WAY
Sure Guy said:
NO HE WON'T
as a fellow Titan i follow his career closely - and consider myself somewhat of an "expert" on him
NO WAY he wants to move from So Cal and his family - regardless of where he might end up
Nevin plays tonite for SD - he plays Sunay for SD and come September - he will be a Padre
Looks like Baltimore is done trying to obtain Burnett:
The Baltimore Orioles on Saturday have agreed to trade right-handed pitcher Sidney Ponson to San Diego for first baseman Phil Nevin.
Buster Olney reports that Nevin has a limited no-trade clause and he hasn't approved the deal yet. The Orioles are on the list of teams he does not want to be traded to.
With Ponson moving to the Padres, the Orioles deal to acquire Florida Marlins right-hander A.J. Burnett has been shelved.
A three-way deal with the Orioles and Texas Rangers, which would have sent Burnett to Baltimore, was "killed" by the Orioles this weekend, according to a baseball man familiar with the deal, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reported. So the Marlins are believed to have broken off talks with Baltimore, at least for now, and are back to focusing on offers by the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays.
Lowell, who is batting a disappointing .230 with just four homers and 39 RBI, is owed about $21 million through 2007.
Ponson was moved to San Diego once he refused a trade to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for left-handed reliever Trever Miller.
The Padres have a need for a starter with Adam Eaton likely heading to the bullpen. Troubled with elbow pain, Eaton can't throw his curveball, relegating him as a fastball-changeup reliever.
Now the Marlins have to try to find a taker for third baseman Mike Lowell with Burnett, or return to the possibilities with the White Sox and Red Sox.
The White Sox figure to head the list of other deals, with prospect Brandon McCarthy heading the package along with Jose Contreras. The Red Sox offer would center on right-handed pitcher Bronson Arroyo.
