The most overlooked quote of the 2015 trade deadline.

This quote from Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi was so overlooked, I completely missed it for two days. I only noticed it just now as I was going over notes for an off-day story. Here it is (words bolded for emphasis):

There were certainly conversations we had with teams where all of our players were at least asked for.

There you have it. If anyone reported that a Dodger player’s name came up in trade discussions this year, they were correct.

Literally every rumor was true.

And yet somehow, not a single player on the Dodgers’ active major league roster was traded. Amazing how that works.
