If that is indeed true, then it is time for me to back off of Drayton. Pupura failed to get the job done, but it could be that the Reds just flat didn't want to trade their best player. This is dissapointing. Oh well, time to see if we can make it with what we have. If Drayton was going to take on the salary though, I'm very happy. That's all I ask. Wonder if Hun could have gotten the deal done?
