The Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Dodgers had a deal in place that would've sent Eduardo Rodriguez to the West Coast, but the left-handed starter reportedly turned down the deal, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Rodriguez has a unique contract that has a 10-team no-trade clause, which the Dodgers are included in, and Rodriguez decided to exercise his option, meaning the deal is now dead, Passan reports.
A few minutes after the 6 p.m. trade deadline passed Tuesday, a source confirmed to the Free Press that Rodriguez would not be traded.
The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya reports that Rodriguez expressed a desire to stay closer to this family on the East Coast.
