Looking Back at the Sherrill Trade

Found October 28, 2009 on Oriole Post: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: George Sherrill,  Jonathan Broxton
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers

I've been keeping my eyes on the playoffs, and the Baltimore Sun has a real nice piece (written by Dan Connolly) on former closer George Sherrill in today's online edition.

Now Sherrill said to the Sun that he didn't want to leave Baltimore, and the fans didn't want to see him go either -- but, hey, it's all business, and sometimes a cruel one. It's been a few months since he was traded, and even now people in Birdland still don't care for the deal made. Whether the deal pans out in the future or not, I think fans here right now just want to see a winner and have hope in the American League East.>>> Read More
