Around SBN: Champions League Preview with Jimmy Conrad

Choo confides to The Korea Times. Translated by robots, apparently.

UPDATE: A Korean reporter weighs in, says he doesn't think Choo ever actually said the word for "trade," but rather was just expressing his envy of teams in the postseason. [Jay]

Regardless of how successful the Indians are before he reaches free agency I don’t see him staying in Cleveland.

Oh God, it’s starting already.

Couldn’t he have saved this talk for when we know we can’t keep him anyway? It sounds like he wants to leave even before he is due for the big payday! In that case, maybe trade his sorry behind for starting pitching.

Well this isn’t exactly what I was hoping to read this morning.

Haha, yes of course, based on Adam Miller being the best part.

I don’t take the same offense to this as everyone else is. We know we have Choo for the next few years at which point he’ll end up with BOS, NYY, LAD or wherever. He’s represented by Boras – there’s no doubt he’s chasing the money when he’s a free agent.

I’m going to enjoy watching him play while he’s here. I have no illusions about his motivations and will certainly not get attached to him. While it sucks seeing it in black and white like that, we certainly didn’t need a bad translation to know his intentions. That was more plainly put last year when he signed with Boras.

I just want to believe.

At least it’s on the table early.

But I’m so attached already!

It’s one thing to chase the money. It’s quite another to express for two years that you want out with the team you’re still playing for before the payday has arrived.

Mixed signals or lost in translation?

I haven’t had any contact from the new general manager. As Cleveland has nurtured many young good players next season, it will be strong," Choo said implying he could stay with the Indians based on a new deal.

by Roger Dorn on Oct 13, 2010 10:39 AM EDT reply actions  

Castro cleared this up on Twitter. Choo believes Indians can win next year, expressed no desire to receive a “transfer.” Desire was purely out of envy to be a winning team.

by Roger Dorn on Oct 13, 2010 10:57 AM EDT reply actions  

Except that he did express that desire.

One can hardly begrudge his desire to be on a winning team.

by Jay on Oct 13, 2010 11:10 AM EDT up reply actions  

Posted this update above.

It’s a little dubious as to whether he actually used the word for trade/transfer or not.

by Jay on Oct 13, 2010 12:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sooner or later, if he keeps playing well, he’ll get his wish.

by MTF on Oct 13, 2010 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe he just wanted to be transferred within the organization to a different position, Assistant GM perhaps..

by hans on Oct 13, 2010 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Scott Boras says it’s all “nonsense”. For whatever that might be worth.

by MTF on Oct 13, 2010 2:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Obviously

Obviously this is going to happen sooner than later. Hopefully we do not lose him to free agency and get some prospects that are worthy of playing in the major leagues. He is one of my favorite players.
