Detroit – Walking out of the clubhouse Saturday night after another deflating Tigers loss, I held the door open for Matthew Boyd, who was a few strides behind me.
“For the record, I’m not rooting for you to be traded,” I told him.
And truly, I am not. For a bunch of reasons, not just because he’s a good man and one of the go-to guys in the clubhouse for all the beat writers and TV/radio folks. It’s never about that. It’s about his value to this organization going forward.
