The speculation RE: Trading Felix is just NY writers feeding their readers' rosterbation fantasies.

There is absolutely no reason for the M’s to trade him right now, or at any foreseeable time over at least the next two and a half years.

Of course there's a reason to. And some of them are good. Just not good enough.

I get your point. It was poor writing on my point, I think.

I was more addressing the fact that most of the trade speculation I’ve read have taken for granted the fact that because the Mariners are bad now and will likely not be in competition in the immediately foreseeable future they should be willing to trade him. This reasoning misses the point that Felix does have some current value to the Mariners and since he is under contract for several more years at a not-unreasonable price, he is a player the M’s can hope to build a future contender around. So when I said “There is absolutely no reason for the M’s to trade him right now” I was referring to the fact that Felix’s present and future value to the M’s means that there is no pressure to move him now.

While I am not saying he is going to trade him

what else is he going to say?

.

“We want to be competitive. Let the pieces fall where they may but as of right now we’re not looking to trade Felix.”
“We are currently not interested in trading Felix Hernandez.”
“We want to put a competitive product on the field and right now, Felix helps us do that.”
“As of right now, Felix is a part of our ballclub and we plan to have him as our opening day starter.”
