PITTSBURGH — Eduardo Rodriguez, still a member of the Detroit Tigers, sat on the floor in the visitor's clubhouse at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, before Wednesday's start.
The 30-year-old, less than 24 hours after invoking his 10-team no-trade clause to nix a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers, seemed happy in his environment as he joked around with teammates Jose Cisnero and Javier Báez.
Later on, Rodriguez stepped on the mound and tossed six innings of two-run ball in the Tigers' 6-3 win.
"I feel like we had a couple conversations a little bit, but the details of the trade wasn't right where I wanted for me and my family," Rodriguez said after Wednesday's start.
