July 18, 20168 yr The word on Valencia is that he is an awful clubhouse guy and that's why his trade market is low. Chris Johnson is a tremendous clubhouse guy. So, there's more to these decisions than on the field performance. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app This actually is interesting if true. I don't want anymore clubhouse shit.
July 18, 20168 yr i can't believe the A's would just DFA someone hitting over .300 - post the link to that article you're referring to por favor http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/latest-on-athletics.html Interestingly, third baseman Danny Valencia is another designation candidate, reports Slusser, even though he has batted a fantastic .295/.348/.507 with 30 home runs in 659 PAs going back to last year. Despite that production and his cheap team control through next season, Valencia is not garnering interest, relays Slusser. With the out-of-contention A’s looking to evaluate their younger talent, the 31-year-old Valencia could end up designated – as he was with the Royals last season – if Oakland can’t find a taker for him. Whether Valencia is open to positions other than third and how he handles a decrease in playing time might keep the A’s from giving him his walking papers, however, according to Slusser.
July 18, 20168 yr This honestly makes a lot of sense. Marlins won't trade for him if they feel he will be a detriment to the club house.

Marlins won't trade for him if they feel he will be a detriment to the club house. that has been one of the truly wonderful things about this season. so far, we haven't heard a peep about turmoil in the clubhouse. p.s. thanks Cy for posting the Valencia link, i couldn't find it when i googled.
July 18, 20168 yr No problem, I was on my phone when I had posted that prior. I usually post sources when I read something on rumors.
July 18, 20168 yr Apparently Don Kelly was sitting on the tape in exchange for playing time: Miami Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich took to Twitter to deny that he is the person appearing in what has been described as an online sex tape. Yelich, 24, also said in the tweet that his attorneys are looking into the "false and defamatory video." Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app

July 19, 20168 yr This doesn't really say that he's a problem in the clubhouse. Nope it doesn't. I didn't even know he was or is a problem in a clubhouse. All I was posting was that interest on him hasn't been high despite his numbers.
July 26, 20168 yr Maybe we have jack-shit to play at 1B until we get JB back CJ every day is better than kelly. Telis would be better. Scrubbs can prob play 1b. There is no reason for Kelly to be rostered. he's 1 for 22 and randomly falls over playing defense
