Jon Daniels Trade Quotations

We have no active trade discussions going. Danny didn't play last year; we need to see what kind of shape he is in. There's nothing wrong with competition.

There is no trade or pending trade despite reports to the contrary and we expect him to be here this year and at a minimum, next year. Since we acquired him from the Yankees, there has been endless speculation about where he might be headed. We have been consistent in saying that he is a piece of the puzzle we are putting together.

Absolutely not. Including the Florida trade, at no point were we mentioning Hank's name. I didn't bring it up on any occasion. The Marlins deal was a unique opportunity that we had to consider.

It was hard to trade David. He has been with us for two years; he has a strong relationship with the players and the community. He was pretty shocked.

I'd say it's highly unlikely that we're going to trade for a starter. Unless the off-chance presents itself, R.A. will be the fifth starter.
