We've shown a good-faith effort but we haven't found a deal that makes sense.

He knows, like Manny (Ramirez), we're trying to deal him, but there have been no threats made to us about spring training. He's been pretty good on the phone, understanding our situation. He won 15 games and is a very good pitcher, so we need to get a very good deal for him. Generally, the conversations we've had with him have been very positive. He understands that we need to get fair value for him in the market.

We've talked to a number of teams and obviously we haven't done a deal that's worked for us.

We have made a good faith effort to meet his request. We've done that. We've talked to a number of teams and obviously we haven't done a deal that's worked for us. But I know that he is happy that we've done that.

You look back, we signed that two-year deal with an option, and for three years he was outstanding.
