Kevin Correia asks the Pirates to trade him
Demoted to the bullpen last week so that Wandy Rodriguez could take his spot
in the rotation, Kevin Correia has asked the Pirates to trade him.
“I want to start,” Correia told Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune
Review. “For that to happen, I’ll have to go someplace else.”
He then went out and allowed four runs in his first relief appearance.
General manager Neil Huntington said the Pirates “are open to a trade, but it
’s got to be something that makes us better.” And because Correia is
unlikely to fetch much of a return Huntington may feel that keeping him
around as rotation depth in case of an injury is more valuable.
Correia is certainly deserving of a spot in some team’s rotation, as he’s
started 150 career games with a 4.63 ERA and has a 4.24 ERA in 19 starts this
season. On the other hand 31-year-old back-of-the-rotation starters with $3
million salaries aren’t exactly a hot commodity, particularly when they’re
impending free agents like Correia.
