Jon Daniels Expect Quotations

We expect him to be a member of the club moving forward this season and next.

I've made calls and received calls. A lot of notes and a lot of conversations. But at this point I don't expect anything to materialize.

There is no trade or pending trade despite reports to the contrary and we expect him to be here this year and at a minimum, next year. Since we acquired him from the Yankees, there has been endless speculation about where he might be headed. We have been consistent in saying that he is a piece of the puzzle we are putting together.

That's the challenge I signed up for, ... I wouldn't expect anything less.

I certainly expect him to go out and have a good year. But with the things that had transpired in the past, we just decided that it was an appropriate time to go in a different direction.
