K-Rod now has no trade value, but he actually helped us out by making Melvin finally pull the trigger and decide to sell. He was clearly still teetering, but that's now officially over based on his comments. So in the end, he may end up causing us to get some value for players we otherwise wouldn't've traded. So it is what it is. Maybe someone will just take him for practically nothing, and at least take his salary. Kind of like the rumored Wolf situation.
