Ben Zobrist Traded For Michael Young?

[Jaypers]

Nothing official yet, but Zobrist was taken out of his game early, is hugging his teammates in the dugout, and I found this:


Dustin Dietz ‏@DustinDietz18
SOURCES: Rays trade leader Ben Zobrist to Rangers for leader Michael Young. #LeaderForLeader

 

[HPC]

Huh.

Interesting if true

Michael Young has been a stand-up guy in Texas, one of the few Rangers I like.

 

[Jaypers]

Eh....maybe not. Still, why the supposed hugs? Weird.

Marc Topkin ‏@TBTimes_Rays
#Rays Zobrist left game with back spasms

 

[HPC]

Maybe the "source" saw team mates trying to hold him up or work his back?

I have back spasms and theyre so intense sometimes I need help moving around

 

[MojoDan]

:shock:

Seeing that Michael Young is currently playing that might be difficult.

Also, how would both players clear waivers in the first place?

 

[Jaypers]

Mods, might want to lock this down. False alarm.

@jonahkeri rotoworld captures it: "Zobrist was spotted giving outhugs in the Rays' dugout...but apparently he's just a super sweetguy."

Wow.....the site really jacked up that copy and paste

From Rotoworld "Zobrist was spotted giving out hugs in the Rays' dugout...but apparently he's just a super sweet guy."

That trade didnt make sense for either team.
