NO TRADE.
Only bad things would happen there...
Tough situation, we could lose him for nothing...but via trade, we could actually end up worse than him just leaving (mostly sarcasm, but could be a little possible)...
Where is Garstar? He speaks Japanese and translate this stuff. I used a translator earlier and you pretty much nailed the points.
He contemplating about testing the market, wants to win. His goal is to win a ring, and we know how he is with his goals.
NEW STUFF:
When looking for the article, I came across another interview with him...
Apparently, he loves San Francisco (bay area, but specifically said SF...besides, i doubt Oakland could give him big money anyways)...and his favorite american city is Boston, because 'it is very historic' (put a gun to my head telling me to move there and ill pull the trigger)...Anywhere but Boston, Baltimore, or the Cubs, PLEASE.
I dont think hes staying, and I dont blame him one bit. Ichiro tried to talk his frustrations out, but it fell on deaf ears. He seems a little hesitant, too...like he doesnt want the fans to hate him for it. But you cant blame him. Im surprised hes trying to honor his contract without trade demands.
