Snow Doesn't Want Trade

Apparently Boston's J.T. Snow did not request a trade, the Boston Herald reported Wednesday. Snow said he understands his position with the team and would rather play with a contender, even if it means he only records 90 at-bats on the season. According to Snow, he never requested or demanded a trade, merely asked GM Theo Epstein to see if there was any interest.

If he changes his mind, I'm sure the Royals would be interested in getting him as part of their "youth movement."

As part of their "Anything's-better-than-our-farm-system" movement, you mean? :-)

I really wish the Sox had never signed Snow. He doesn't bring a whole lot to the table. But at least he's a classy vet who's handling his situation very well

I would disagree with that - I think he brings a lot to the table, Boston just hasn't used him much. I think he's an excellent defensive replacement with solid offensive skills who makes the Boston bench that much better than New York's.

He helps the bench a little bit, but his offensive skills aren't really there anymore and keeping a roster spot for a defensive first baseman just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. He gives them all that intangible crap like veteran leadership, but they'd probably be better off just going with Choi as their backup firstbase option.

And, I think he'd rather get 90 at-bats in Boston than 300 in Kansas City
