Oh when I saw Blanco in the headline I thought it was about Ronel, not the Ranger one.
Good old Yahoo news. Uses a headline that says Brown “is contemplating trading Paredes” which implies that there is a quote or something. But there’s not. Brown is not thinking about trading Paredes at all now that Correa is hurt. He’ll only think about it if Crane tells him to.
