He’s Not Happy About Prospects of a Trade

Is Fred Claire on drugs? The Dodgers have a chance to trade for Pedro Martinez, but are apparently unwilling to part with Adrian Beltre. Adrian who? What a surprise--Claire refuses to give up a totally unproven minor leaguer for a proven ace. He’s probably waiting for Pat Zachry to come out of retirement so the Dodgers can sign him to a minor league contract.
