Yucky James Loney Trade Talk

From "Loney would welcome trade: First baseman not happy about getting sent to Triple-A" by Ken Gurnick at Dodgers.com:

MILWAUKEE -- The season opener for James Loney is Thursday night in Salt Lake City, not exactly where and when he was hoping for.

When told Saturday night he was being sent back to the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s, Loney was told by management that he's ready for the Major Leagues, but the opportunity doesn't currently exist. Loney then told the team if a trade to another club is necessary to create that opportunity, he'd welcome it.

"He didn't demand it. He suggested it as an option," said Joe Urbon, Loney's agent. "He was the best hitter in the Minor Leagues last year and they re-signed Nomar Garciaparra for two years. If James only gets to the Major Leagues when Nomar gets hurt, he could be sitting around until 2009. No one wants to be a Dodger more than James. But he's disappointed and frustrated. As he said, he can't help the [Dodgers] in Las Vegas."

Would this be happening if Logan White were GM?
